* Populate "**Title**" field (1, optional) and "**Icon"** (2, optional). After saving, icon and title will be shown in top left corner of kanban (see image below).
* Configure **Kanban**, **Header** and **Title CSS styles** (5).
* Specify **"Inline CSS Styles"** (6) - there you can add any custom CSS if necessary. Moreover, merge fields and formulas are supported there!
* Check **"Track History"** (3) if you want to see history of changes on the kanban view (in [debug console](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/standard-kanban/using-kanban/how-to-debug-a-kanban)).
* Turn on "**Synchronous Scrolling"** (4) if you want to have columns be scrolled together. Useful, e.g., if you try to make something table-like.
* Turn on "**Show** **Search Input"** (7). If shown, it allows user to search a part of text through all displayed kanban elements.

{% hint style="success" %}

* "**Icons Library**" link can help you find an appropriate icon.
* Icon name should be typed with icon category and a colon (e.g. <mark style="color:green;">action:edit</mark>).
* If you don't populate title, kanban name will be shown instead.
  {% endhint %}

Apply (8) changes in the Kanban config. Popup will be closed.

Then save whole Kanban to get all changes applied:
