# Assign a kanban stage from a chat

> Set a chat kanban stage from the profile panel.

You can move a chat into a kanban stage without leaving the conversation. The stage you pick is the same one used by the [kanban board](/docs/product/kanban-board).

## Before you start

* Kanban columns configured (see [Manage kanban columns](/docs/product/settings/kanban-columns))

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the chat">
    Navigate to the conversation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the profile panel">
    It sits to the right of the chat window on desktop.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the stage picker">
    Look for the stage / status field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a stage">
    Select from your configured columns.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The card now appears in that stage on the kanban board.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips

* Assigning a stage from chat is faster than going to the kanban board to drag the card.
* Use it as a tiny ritual - move stage every time you reply, so the board stays current without separate effort.
