# Overview

This is what a kanban board looks like. All data is fetched from linear: * The Linear project title * The project status. On hover, the status description will pop up. * A progress bar showing the project's progress. This is a value calculated by Linear based on the number of issues and the total estimate of all issues in the project. * The project description * External project links added in Linear. Documents are not shown. The kanban board has columns for every status type (backlog, unstarted, started, completed, canceled). The custom status is shown as a label inside every issue, it shows the color in a small dot and the status description on hover. The issue cards show the following information: * Identifier * Title * Status * Due date * Estimate * Priority: shows an "urgent" label when an issue has the highest priority. The label is red as long as the issue is open. Once completed or canceled, the "urgent" label will turn gray. * Assignee

## Issue detail When you click a card, the details of this issue are shown. Next to all the details already shown on the card, you can also see: * The issue description * Comments ### Comment on issues Everyone who has access to the board can comment on issues. They need to provide a name and email address and can choose to be remembered or not. {% hint style="info" %} Markdown is supported, except for images. Image support and a cleaner WYSIWYG editor are on [our roadmap](/product/roadmap.md). {% endhint %}

## New request You'll find a big + button on the top right corner of the board, which opens the "new request" window. Everyone with access to the board can make new requests. Users can enter the title and description of the new issue. Markdown for the description is supported, you can preview the layout before submitting the request. New requests will be created in the project linked to the board. If triage is enabled, the request will end up there and isn't visible on the board until it is accepted in Linear, otherwise, the first status in the backlog status type is selected and the issue is visible on the board immediately.

## Authentication Users can log in to avoid manually entering their name and email, while also gaining access to [notifications](/boards/kanban-board/notifications.md).
