1. Design

The design of SharePoint Kanban was changed to a modern one.

2. Task colors according to custom conditions

Secondly, we added a lot of new features for task view customization. For example, you can create custom conditions filters and color-code task with a predefined parameter. So you can assign distinct colors for tasks with different choice field values or create your own conditions to highlight different project processes on your SharePoint Kanban board.
