Main
Only team members within your account can access main boards. A team member can be an admin, a member or a viewer. There is an infinite number of main boards you can create, and these are visible to all of your team members in your account.
Looking to keep your whole team updated on a project? Or perhaps you have some team-wide updates you’d like to share (new hire onboarding, for example)? Then main boards are the tool for you.
Shareable
Has the CEO asked you for a project update but doesn’t have access to your board? Are you working with a freelancer and need to brief them on project timelines and deliverables? If so, we recommend using shareable boards.
Shareable boards allow you to share a board with people outside your team or organisation, including clients, internal stakeholders without access to your board, or freelancers. You can invite these people as guests to specific shareable boards within your account.
Private
Are you working on a project you aren’t quite ready to share yet? Or do you have a board you use specifically to keep track of confidential information?
Then monday.com private boards are the perfect solution for you.
Only the person who created the board can view a monday.com private board. These boards are great for internal use, as you can still invite specific team members (as either viewers or members) to view your private board.
However, it is important to note that private boards cannot be shared with people outside of your organisation, and therefore you cannot invite guests to view a private board.
