Add Custom Text or a URL to a Section

You can add pre-written text or a custom URL to a product board, spreadsheet, or any website the team uses. To create this kind of custom page, use the pencil icon to the right of any section and update the rich text window or URL field accordingly.

Things to remember when adding a URL:

  • The URL needs to be HTTPS (we are a secure site, so the site entered needs to be secure).
  • The URL needs to be public. It cannot be behind a password-protected page (iframe-friendly URLs are recommended).

If you see a padlock icon (instead of a pencil icon), the section has predetermined text or functionality that cannot be edited.
