...
The board configuration screen consists of few sections, namely:
General
allow users to configure basic board parameters, add and/or delete projects and (coming soon) share the board with other users.
Versions workflow
helps to define custom release versions workflow by adding, changing or removing columns. Also, defines a mapping between Jira "Released" / "Unreleased" standard statuses and custom columns on the board.
General section
On the General section an administrator can:
Available now:
change the board name
add or remove projects from the board
Coming soon:
add or delete board administrators
There is no need to confirm the changes. They are saved automatically once control losses the focus.

Project picker outlines only the projects where current user has “Browse project” permissions. Otherwise, the project will not be available from the list. The same logic is applied to all other projects on the board plan that have already been added to the board plan by other users. |
Once you delete project from the list all the releases (versions) from this project will be deleted from the plan. And logically, once you add new project to the list all the releases (versions) from this project will be added to the plan.
Permissions management
There are two levels of board permissions, namely Administration and Browse permissions.
