About this guide
ProjectBoard turns every project into a shareable, structured page with a clear timeline. Add descriptions, locations, amenities, cover media, image galleries, and brochures stored securely in file-vault.
Post progress updates on a schedule or publish instantly. Updates support categories (configurable per workspace), attachments, and visibility rules (public, customers-only, internal). When an update is published, ProjectBoard emits events so other apps can resolve audience and deliver notifications—without ProjectBoard needing to know who the customers are.
Use it for construction projects, property developments, events, product launches, internal initiatives, and any workflow that needs a “project home” plus an update stream.
