# The Top 10 Features Every User Should Know

1. **Visual Sync Indicator: L**ook for a small indicator icon next to item names. This visual cue instantly tells you that an item is connected to other boards without having to click into it.
2. **Item Locations Column:** Add this custom column to your board for direct navigation. It displays clickable board tags showing every location where the item currently lives.
3. **App Item View Tab**: Clicking into any item reveals the **Same Item Multiple Boards** app view tab. This panel serves as the central hub for that specific item, displaying all linked boards, sync statuses, and permissions.
4. **Manual Sync Button:** Located within the item view, this lets you share an item to additional destination boards on the fly—perfect for ad-hoc sharing without configuring automations.
5. **Bulk Sync Action:** Need to push multiple items at once? Select items using **Monday.com's** standard batch toolbar and use the S**ame Item Multiple Boards** bulk action under Apps to sync them to target boards in one click.
6. **App Settings Dashboard:** Your central control tower to monitor active board connections, account usage limits, and global sync defaults.
7. **Column Mapping Matrix:** Defines how data transfers between boards. Automatically pairs matching columns (e.g., *Status* to *Status*) so data stays consistent.
8. **One-Click Column Creation:** Missing a target column on the destination board? Generate identical matching columns instantly right from the mapping screen. 
9. **Automation Recipe Marketplace**: Access pre-built automation templates from **Monday.com's** "*Automate*" button. Trigger multi-board syncs automatically based on status changes, column edits, or new item creation.
10. **Discrepancies View**: A workspace data health tool. It actively scans connected items across boards, highlights any mismatched column values, and allows you to resolve discrepancies with a single click.
