### What is a board page-card?

A page card is a placeholder, like a sticky note.

A page-card is similar to a card but when a page-card is created in a board container, a linked Confluence page is created.

[Board properties](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCSL/pages/642486155) can be set to allow the creation of:

- only cards
- only page cards
- page cards and cards

> ℹ️ One or more pages and cards can be added to a board container.

Board pages are great for brainstorming ideas because you can create, delete, and move a page between board containers and maintain the link to the child page.

### Adding a page-card

To [add a page card](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCSL/pages/641997364) to a container

- move mouse over a container.
- choose the displayed **+ Add page**.

- a page card is added to the container.
- the page title is the first line of text entered when adding the page card
- a linked Confluence page is also created

If the board properties setting allows, there is an option to toggle between creating a page card or a card.

Selecting the page card in the container displays any further page-card content.

### Linked Confluence pages

The linked page is created as a child of the page with the added board.

The linked child page is created with:

- a page title that is the name of the page card in the board container
- page labels from the board container
- content from the page in the board container

The content of the child page can be edited. Any edits are viewable on the board container page.

> ℹ️ Moving the page between board containers updates the linked page with the destination container label and removes the previous container label.

### Removing a page card

A page card in a container can be permanently deleted by choosing **Remove the card**:

- deleting a page card from the board container removes it permanently from the board
- the previously linked page is **NOT** deleted

Deleting a linked Confluence page in the space will remove the board container page.

### Clear all board cards

If enabled for the board a user can clear all cards on the board.

> ℹ️ Using this option ***also clears*** all the associated labels from all the linked pages.

Choose the **Clear board** option from the board name dropdown menu

You need to confirm clearing the board.

You can hide the **Clear board** option for users.

Simply edit the **[Board Properties](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCSL/pages/642486155)**** **and toggle the **hide/display clear board** option button > Macro (inline-media-image)

.

> ℹ️ You cannot change a **page** **card** to a card. You can ONLY [convert a card to a page card](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCSL/pages/642224817).

Removing a **page card** does NOT remove the linked Confluence page. However, deleting a linked Confluence page removes the **page card** on the board.
