The Day We Stopped Copy-Pasting Between Boards (and What Happened Next)

If you’ve ever tried managing the same work across multiple monday boards — you probably know the pain.

A project update on one board.
A comment on another.
A status change that somehow never made it across.

By the end of the week, we weren’t managing projects anymore — we were managing copies of the same data. And all it took was one missed update for things to go sideways.


The Turning Point

It started with a small frustration.
We had one item — “Client A: Project Workflow” — showing up on 3 different boards (Sales, Operations, and Billing).

Each team needed to see it. Each one updated their copy.
Except… no one knew which version was right anymore.

That’s when we decided there had to be a better way. Not more automations. Not more linked columns.
Just one item, reflected across all the boards we needed — staying perfectly in sync.


The Solution

That idea became Mirror Item Multiple Boards — an app that lets you share one item across multiple boards, and keep everything — columns, subitems, updates, and files — automatically synced.

You update one board → every connected board updates instantly.
You add a comment → everyone sees it.
You attach a file → it’s available everywhere.

No setup, no custom recipes, no manual sync.
Just… peace.


What Changed

Within a week, our daily workflow felt different.

:white_check_mark: Teams stopped asking “which board is the latest?”
:white_check_mark: Cross-department updates became instant.
:white_check_mark: Our project managers finally trusted what they were seeing.
:white_check_mark: Teams started chatting because updates(comments + replies) were syncing between items

And the best part? We discovered we didn’t need to copy-paste progress anymore — because progress just flowed.


A Small Shift, a Big Difference

Sometimes productivity isn’t about adding more tools.
It’s about removing the small frictions that slow teams down.

For us, that friction was manual syncing.
The day we removed it, monday.com started feeling less like a collection of boards — and more like a connected workspace.


If you’re still duplicating items or manually updating multiple boards, try giving Mirror Item a spin.
You’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.
