The **Connected Boards** column is now supported in the Same Item Multiple Boards (SIMB) app on monday.com.
This feature allows you to connect multiple boards, sync items automatically, and even set up **Mirror** or **Formula** columns between them.

## 1️⃣ Create a Connected Boards column on both boards
* Go to your first board.
* Add a new column and select **Connected Boards** from the list of column types.
* Name it (e.g., “Project Link”).
* Repeat the same steps on the second board and use **the exact same name** (“Project Link”).


## 2️⃣ Manually connect the boards
* Return to your first board and open the **Project Link** column settings.
* Manually select the boards you want to connect.
* Go to the second board and repeat the process — make sure to connect the same boards in its **Project Link** column.
Once both boards are connected, the **sync will start automatically**.
Any connected items will now update across both boards in real time.

## 3️⃣ (Optional) Add a Mirror column
If you want to display specific data (like **Status**, **Date**, or even a **Formula result**) from another board:
* Add a **Mirror** column to your board.
* Customize it to pull information from the connected board (e.g., “Date” or “Sales”).
* The values will automatically reflect changes from the source board.


💡 **Tip:**
If your Connected Boards column isn’t syncing, double-check that:
* Both boards are **manually linked** to each other.
* The Connected Boards column has the same name in both boards.
* The correct boards are selected under column settings.

✅ Once set up, the Connected Boards feature keeps your data synchronized across boards letting you manage items seamlessly without manual duplication.
