We used to manage everything on monday.com through a bunch of separate boards — one for Marketing, one for Product, one for Operations, and so on.
Each team tracked their own items, but many of those items were actually the same project or task, just copied over and renamed.
Every week someone would ask:
“Wait, which board has the latest update?”
That’s when we realised — we didn’t need more boards.
We needed one Master Board that could bring everything together.
What We Wanted
We wanted a high-level board that could show:
-
All key projects from each team board
-
Live updates whenever someone changed something
-
No manual copy-paste
-
And importantly — updates (comments and replies) to be visible everywhere too
What We Built
That idea became our app — Mirror Item Multiple Boards.
Now, instead of manually duplicating items, we just mirror them to the Master Board.
When someone changes a status, adds a file, or comments on an item — it instantly updates on every connected board.
Even replies inside updates stay perfectly synced.
We also set up a simple automation on each team board:
When an item is created → mirror item to the High-Level Board
So anytime a new task is added to a team board, it automatically appears on the Master Board with full sync enabled.
The Result
-
One high-level board that gives a complete overview
-
Team boards that stay in sync automatically
-
Comments, files, and subitems all mirrored live
-
No need to manually update anything between boards
It made monday feel much more connected.
Now we spend less time managing boards and more time actually managing work.
If your workspace is full of duplicate items or out-of-sync boards, try setting up your own Master Board — it’s a simple change that makes a big difference.
