+Swimlanes
+=========
+
+Swimlanes are horizontal separations in your board.
+By example, it's useful to separate software releases, divide your tasks in different products, teams or what ever you want.

+Board with swimlanes

+
+Managing swimlanes
+------------------
+
+- All projects have a default swimlane.
+- If there is more than one swimlane, the board will show all swimlanes.
+- You can drag and drop tasks between swimlanes.
+
+To configure swimlanes go to the **project configuration page** and choose the section **Swimlanes**.
+

+
+From there, you can add a new swimlane or rename the default one.
+You can also disable and change the position of the different swimlanes.
+
+- The default swimlane is always on the top but you can hide it.
+- Inactive swimlanes are not shown on the board.
+- **Removing a swimlane doesn't remove tasks assigned to it**, those tasks will be moved to the default swimlane.
