New user - view lists and calendar

How do you view your lists on the left and monthly calendar on the right to drag and drop your "to dos" on dates on the calendar?

Hi @Paige Dilts,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

To achieve a layout where you can view your lists on the left and a monthly calendar on the right for drag-and-drop task planning, you'll need to use Trello along with the Calendar Power-Up (or the Premium calendar view feature).

Here’s how you can set it up:

Use Trello's Calendar View (Premium feature)
If you're on Trello Premium or higher:

Open your board.

Click "Views" in the top-left toolbar and select Calendar.

Make sure each card you want to appear on the calendar has a due date.

You can drag and drop cards directly on the calendar to reschedule them.

If using the free plan:

Enable the Calendar Power-Up from the Power-Ups menu (each board gets 1 Power-Up on the free plan).

Once enabled, click the Calendar tab at the top of your board.

Again, make sure your cards have due dates to appear on the calendar.

To see lists on the left and calendar on the right:
Trello doesn’t support a built-in side-by-side view of lists and calendar. However, you can:

Open two browser windows side-by-side: one showing your board in list view, and the other showing the calendar.

Or use tools like Planyway (a third-party Power-Up) which offers more flexible calendar layouts, including list/calendar side-by-side.

Let me know which version of Trello you're using, and I can guide you further with screenshots or setup steps.
