Boards
What boards are in Feedjolt: collections of posts that separate audiences, products, or stages. Covers visibility levels, moderation, voting, and deletion.
A board is where posts live. Most workspaces have a few - one per product, or one per audience (customers vs. internal).
When to use multiple boards
- Different audiences. "Customer feedback" (public) vs. "Engineering ideas" (internal).
- Different products. "Mobile app" vs. "Web dashboard".
- Different stages. "Discovery" (raw ideas) vs. "Planned" (committed).
When in doubt, start with one board. Splitting later is easy; merging is harder.
Visibility
Each board has a visibility setting:
| Visibility | Who can see it | Who can submit |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the link | Anyone (no auth) |
| Authenticated | Anyone signed in | Anyone signed in |
| Invite-only | Workspace members + invited end users | Members + invited end users |
| Internal | Workspace members only | Members only |
Use Internal for engineering ideas you don't want customers reading. Use Invite-only for beta groups.
A few behaviors worth knowing:
- Authenticated boards show up on the portal for signed-out visitors as locked cards (name and description only) with a "Sign in to view" prompt. Posts stay hidden until sign-in.
- Invite-only boards never appear to anyone who isn't on the invite list. Invite emails (Board settings → Invites) contain a sign-in link that's valid for 7 days — the recipient lands on the board already signed in, no code needed. Removing an invite immediately revokes its emailed link.
- Internal boards are never published to the portal at all.
Creating a board
Dashboard -> Boards -> New board. You'll set:
- Name - shown to end users.
- Slug - URL segment in the portal.
- Visibility - see above.
- Moderation - if on, new posts start as drafts and need an admin to approve. Off by default.
- Voting - on/off per board. Off makes it a pure submission inbox.
Board settings
Edit at Dashboard -> Boards -> [board] -> Settings.
- Pinned post - appears at the top.
- Featured flag - surfaces the board on the portal homepage.
- Sort order - newest, top-voted, recent activity.
- Allowed post types (if your workspace defines categories).
See Notifications for details on the per-board digest toggle.
Moderation
When moderation is on, end-user submissions land in a queue. An ADMIN reviews, edits if needed, and publishes - or rejects with a reason.
Members' own posts skip the queue. So do edits to existing posts.
Deleting a board
Deletion cascades - every post, comment, and vote in the board is removed. Owners get a confirmation prompt with the post count.
Consider archiving (Settings -> Archive) instead. Archived boards are hidden from the portal but stay in the dashboard for audit and search.
Workspaces
A Feedjolt workspace is the top-level container for boards, posts, members, integrations, branding, and billing. Learn its identity, settings, and deletion.
Posts
A post is a single piece of feedback in Feedjolt: title, body, status, tags, votes, and comments. Learn how posts are submitted, edited, merged, and moved.
