Can you organize boards as tabs like in Excel or in Google?

In excel you get tabs at the bottom for all your sheets. In Google you get tabs up the top for all the pages you have open. Can you arrange the boards in Trello that way or is it only the Home page and the Board drawer.

Hi @Kay Pearse 

Welcome to the Community!

Unfortunately that's not how Trello works.

There are workarounds for it though!

If I'm in Chrome, I pin all the boards that I want to look at, sometimes I have a Chrome open just for Trello (although I would be cautious about that because of the CPU that Trello & Chrome use). Quite often I have 3 Trello boards open in Chrome, I pin them so that I can get to them easier.

Also in Chrome, I have a folder of my boards that I've bookmarked called, unsurprisingly 'Boards'. I don't know why, but I always get lost in the dashboard, so I made my own in a folder! Although I have the pinned boards in Chrome, there are some boards that I use that I don't want to star within Trello, and this makes it easy for me to navigate to them quickly.

Also, on my bookmarks bar, I have the 3 boards that I use all day - every day:

If I'm in Safari, it's similar, I have a folder in favourites, where I just have all my most used boards.

Neither of these are a perfect fix, but they're helpful to know! It's also helpful to know if you should change your main board (the very first one you had). Trello will nine times out of ten open on that board, even if it's not the most used anymore! So it's useful to know which boards you're in the most and make them as available as possible!

Hope that helps a bit!
