I haven't found where to rename the board or the tabs inside it. I have not found any button to do so.

Is there any way I can rename my already created board and content? I'd like to improve readability on my project and make it clearer for other members of my organization.

Thank you!

EDIT: Rewrite for correctness & legibility

If you are using V2 of you need to click on the lock icon in the top right corner of the app. If you don't see that then you may not have permissions to modify the board settings.

Thank you! There it was!

I feel that the padlock icon is not clear, I glossed over it quite a few times but didn't interpret it as an edit or "unlock fields" button.

Would it be of help if I submitted a PR changing the behaviour of the button so the icon represents the action the button does, and not the state of the board?

This article by UX Planet recommends that behaviour.

It would leave:

  • Grey unlock padlock to unlock
  • Grey lock padlock to lock

And thank you for your reply! Now our boards have the correct names! :)
