Creating Labels

***NOTE: Labels do not get moved when moving tasks from one board to another. The best way to do this to create labels on the new board that are the same as the labels on the old board.***

1. Make any task on the new board and open it. Select "Add label."

4. The second drop-down, select what bucket you want it moved to. It's the best to move tasks one bucket at a time.

***NOTE: The  bucket names in the drop-down will only show the buckets that are on the original site you are moving tasks from. They will not show the bucket names of the site you are moving the tasks to. This is why it's important to make the bucket names on the old site match the bucket names on the new site before you move your tasks over.***

5. Once you have both drop-downs selected select "Move."
