Once you are familiar with the basics of the Kanban board the main advantage of using it is the ability to create and comment on issues outside of model viewer. Users can access all of the issues information without loading a 3D Model. Here we'll cover the following features of the Kanban Board:
How to open the Kanban Board
How to group Issue cards
How to filter the Kanban Board
How to interact with individual cards
Issue Tracking features
