With Favro's built in Card editor you are able to manage your projects, collaborate and create content all in the same place. Whether you are taking meeting notes, creating beautiful designs, writing client briefs or blog posts, you can do this and much more in our document style editor.

Top bar

In the top menu of a card, you will find the clickable card ID with a card link (1.) to the right, an option to toggle a card completed or not (2.) if you are assigned as a member to it.

On the left you can see the card activity feed (3.) with the actions that were done inside the card. To the right of that is the Follow, bell option (4.) to get notifications on any action happening in the card. Next is the icon to archive the card (5.), the menu icon that will give you more options relating to that card (6.). Lastly, expand or close a card option (7.).

Add measurable attributes like due dates and tags

Use the details section on cards to add more information about what you're working on. You can add members, tags, estimation and dates, or create a custom field to calculate costs, link out, add contact details, and much more.

There are several pre-made fields to choose from, and you can expand on them further by creating shared fields. You can also customize your card editor experience by setting what fields should always show on new cards you create.ย 

Create beautiful documents

Unlike most project management tools out there, Favro doesn't just give you an item to fill out with data. In Favro a card can be its own document with the formatting you expect from the best text editors on the market.

Of course, you have common formatting options like bold and italics, but you can also create headings, insert horizontal rules, code blocks, links, you name it.

Make lists

Your work isn't only beautiful, it is well-organized and actionable with our many different types of lists. Here's a different types of lists available:

  • Bullet lists

  • Numbered lists

  • Checklists (read more about working with granularity here)

  • Tables (that's right, you can add tables to your card)

Structure card content with collapsible headings

Use headings to separate different teams/members content inside the card with H1 and H2 heading options.

Using the section break, you can separate the headings to allow for other content inside the card description that does not collapse. For more information on collapsible headings, check out this video.

Document history

When any change happens in the card description you can always revert to the previous version and continue working from there with the help of Document history.

Inside the menu, you can choose by the date when the change happened, and restore back to the previous version.

Collaborate in real-time with indicators and threads

With all of this power, it's a good thing that the might is shared. In Favro's card editor, you can write together at the same time. Our indicator system makes this super easy. You can see in real time when a team member is working on a card, and you can also see who authored what in the right pane of the document.

Now that you have a grasp of how to create, let's take a look at how to track it all in flow based boards.
