The Top 10 Features Every User Should Know


  1. Visual Sync Indicator: Look 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 Same 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.
