Why does my board have a lock?

The free plan keeps your 3 newest boards open. Older boards get a lock, but nothing is deleted. To open them again, upgrade to Solo, join your office's plan with a code, or delete a board you don't need. Then the next newest board unlocks.

  • Deleted boards wait in Trash, and boards in Trash don't count.
