Make Your Cross-Board Collaboration Easier
Do you struggle to keep card information consistent across multiple Trello boards? Manually updating the same information in different places wastes time and often leads to inconsistencies.
The Card Mirror & Sync Power-up for Trello solves this problem by creating synchronized mirror cards across your boards. Your cards will stay in perfect sync automatically, ensuring everyone has the same information regardless of which board they're viewing.
This could help in many cases. For example:
Product teams sharing feature cards between roadmap and sprint boards
Client-specific boards that need to reflect tasks from a main operations board
Team boards that need visibility into shared company-wide initiatives

4. Configure synchronization options:
β’ Next to the Mirrors section, click settings β’ Choose which card elements sync (title, description, checklists, attachments, etc.) β’ Choose if you want the new settings to apply to existing or future cards |

5. Create automation rules

For example, if the card is moved away from this list or archived, then the mirror should also be archived β’ Test the rule to see if the mirrored card is created correctly |
