Batch Actions let you share a large number of items to another board in a single operation, without opening each item individually. You select the items you want to share directly on the board, use the Batch Actions toolbar that appears at the bottom of your screen, and point SIMB at a destination board. This is the fastest way to handle large-scale sharing tasks — onboarding a new project, distributing work across departments, or setting up a client-facing board from an existing backlog.

Share Multiple Items at Once

1

Select the items you want to share

Click the checkbox to the left of each item you want to share. To select a consecutive range quickly, click the first item’s checkbox, then Shift + Click the last item in the range — everything in between will be selected automatically.

Open the Batch Actions toolbar

Once at least one item is checked, a toolbar appears at the bottom of your screen. This is the Batch Actions toolbar, which surfaces actions you can perform on all selected items at once.

Click Add

Click Add to confirm. All selected items are immediately added to the destination board, maintaining their names, column values, and structure.
Batch Actions work especially well for these scenarios:
  • Onboarding new projects — share an entire project’s task list to a team board in seconds
  • Cross-department distribution — push selected items from a master board to department-specific boards at once
  • Client board setup — quickly populate a client-facing board with relevant items from your internal board

Align columns before a batch share

SIMB matches supported columns automatically by exact name and type for every sharing method. Before clicking Add, compare both boards and add any missing columns directly on the destination board. The manual Column Mapping preview has been retired. See automatic column matching.

Share Subitems to Another Board

You can also use Batch Actions to send subitems to another board as regular top-level items. This is useful when subitems have grown into standalone tasks that need to live on a different board.
1

Open the parent item

Click the parent item to expand its subitems row, or open the item detail view to see the subitems section.
2

Select the subitems

Click the checkboxes next to the subitems you want to share. Use Shift + Click to select a range.
3

Open the Batch Actions toolbar and click Apps

The Batch Actions toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen. Click Apps.
4

Choose Same Item Multiple Boards

Select Same Item Multiple Boards from the app list.
5

Pick the destination board and click Add

Choose the board where the subitems should appear and click Add. The subitems are added to the destination board as regular items.
You can also unlink many items in one go. Select the items on the board and choose the Same Item Multiple Boards unlink option from monday’s batch actions. The Unlink items screen lists each selected item with the boards it is connected to; items that are not shared show Not synced. Unlinking stops each item from syncing with its connected boards. No items are deleted, and the copies stay on every board. Click Unlink (the button shows how many items), and watch the progress. If any item fails, click Retry failed, or use Close.
