### **Add a container to a board**

Containers can be added to a board using the [Board Editor](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCSL/pages/642224532).

Containers can be added to new or existing rows and columns. A row can have multiple containers in a single column.

> ℹ️ Each container can have a name, one or more labels, a description and an icon added.

### Add a container
