Boards give you a flexible, drag-and-drop way to organize hosts within an engagement. Each board is user-defined and can contain any number of hosts, allowing you to visually track progress, group targets, or segment environments.

![Boards Demo](https://1013683115-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FHecEAvxd6Z8cSug6DhWr%2Fuploads%2FDa5ENuA7OyZLJtodZehW%2Fptws-boards-1.gif?alt=media\&token=a3ff1330-45b9-48db-b7c1-5b2f79772a71)

#### How Boards Work

* Create as many boards as you need within an engagement.
* Add hosts to boards using the sidebar or drag-and-drop.
* Move hosts between boards to reflect status or workflow.

#### Organizing Strategies

You can define boards to match the way you work. Common approaches include:

* **Status** – In Progress, Vulnerable, Cleared
* **Environment** – External, Internal, WiFi, Cloud
* **Domains** – AD: US, Europe, Asia
* **Phases** – Group 1, Group 2, Group 3

#### Advanced Uses

* **Board Filters** – Narrow your view to a single board for focus.
* **Team Collaboration (Pro Tier)** – In shared engagements, assign hosts by board to different testers.
* **Creative Workflows** – Use boards for labs (e.g., HackTheBox), with categories like *Active Testing*, *Pwned*, *Archived*.

#### Key Benefits

* Visual, intuitive host management
* Fully customizable for any workflow
* Scales from personal use to collaborative engagements
