You can

- edit the name of the container

> ℹ️ If you change the existing name of a container, this will not automatically add the new name as a container label.

- edit the container labels

> ℹ️ Add multiple labels as a comma-separated list

- choose **>more ...** to edit the description for the container.

In the board editor, individual containers can also be dragged and dropped to another container on the board.
