Step 02

Organize with a visual pipeline

Drag jobs through your pipeline as work progresses. The kanban board gives you a full picture of where every shoot stands — from backlog through delivery.

Default 5-stage pipeline: Backlog → Culling → Editing → Review → Delivered
Drag-and-drop cards between columns
Priority badges, due date pills, and image counts on every card
Sort columns manually or by deadline
Customize up to 16 pipeline stages (Pro)
