Feature

Add more depth to your tasks with a fully customizable item description. The description can be added to any item in your workspace as a widget. It can include formatting, images, and text, just like a mini monday Workdoc. 

How to add an Item Description 

To add an Item Description as a new item view, head over to the Item Views Center. Open up the Updates Section of any item on your board and click the "+" in the header. From the list of views, select "Item description".

To add the Item Description as a widget in an existing item view, click "Add widget" and then choose "Item description" from the drop-down menu.

And you're ready to start adding in your content! 

Note: The Item description widget is available on the item level for all monday.com products.

Change your settings

You can change some of your widgets' settings by clicking the 3-dot menu at the top right corner. From here, you can delete your widget if necessary. You can also click "Full Screen" to work a little more comfortably, as you would with a Workdoc. 

You can resize your widget by hovering anywhere in it and dragging the corner to where you want it to be. You can also move the widget by hovering over the icon at the top left corner and then just dragging and dropping it to its new location within your item view. 

How does it work?

The Item Description functions just like a monday Workdoc, but embedded within an item view in the form of a widget. Here, you can use it as a blank canvas, adding individual elements such as text, images, files, and more! To learn more about the different elements available and how to navigate within your widget, take a look at this article. 

Note: The Item Description belongs to the item and will remain with it even when moved between boards or converted to a subitem or vice versa.

You can easily mention a team member within the Item Description by typing "@" and choosing a name from the dropdown list of team members. 

Note: While most of the Item Description's capabilities are identical to workdocs, there is no option to incorporate a board or widget at this time.
