HOW DOES KORGI WORK?

What is Korgi?

Korgi is a content creation, productivity, and project management tool that lets you easily create and organize content using colorful cards on a digital board.

What is a Korgi board?

A Korgi, or Korgi board, is a virtual board with super note cards that let you easily create, connect, share and organize content from many different applications on a single board. You can drag and drop, color-code, sort, and edit cards and much more.

Where is my Korgi content stored?

Each Korgi board's content is stored in a single tab of a Google Sheet. For clarity, Korgi's documentation calls individual tabs in a Sheet "tabs" and calls workbooks "Sheets."

Is Korgi a mobile app (iOS or Android)?

Korgi isn't an installable app yet, but it already works great on mobile phones and tablets! Korgi is a web app that runs in any browser and resizes to fit your device's screen. An Internet connection is required. You can even add Korgi to your mobile device homepage. In Android, choose the three-dot menu on the upper right, and select "Add to Home Screen." In iOS, tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen, then select "Add to Home Screen."

Who makes Korgi?

Korgi Inc. makes productivity software, content and training. Our team members have created, developed, licensed and maintained software applications for the Walt Disney Company, Alphabet, and more than a dozen other companies.

What information of mine is stored on Korgi's servers?

Korgi stores the user email you use to log in with Google, the Google-generated IDs of the Sheets and folders, and the Sheet names you use to store Korgi contents.

How much does Korgi cost?

Korgi has a free 7-day trial that users can use one time. Users also can subscribe to one of our plans and be billed annually or monthly. Please see our Pricing page for current plans and offerings and to start using Korgi boards to get organized!

IS KORGI A GOOGLE TM OR ALPHABET TM PRODUCT? (ANSWER: NO.)

Is Korgi a Google or Alphabet product or partner?

No, Korgi has no affiliation to Google or Alphabet. Korgi is an independent app that connects to Google Workplace tools via Google APIs to make it easy and fun for users to get organized. Other apps and sign ons (MS365 and more) are on the way!

Do I need a Gmail address to use Korgi?

No, you need a Google account, which can be created with any email. (All Gmail addresses are Google accounts, so feel free to log in with Gmail if you have one!) Currently, Korgi uses Google for log in and to manage all your Google Workspace apps from your board.

Why do I need to grant permissions for Korgi to use Google?

Korgi uses Google Authentication for your to log in and Google's APIs to connect Korgi boards to Google Workspace tools to save board contents and let you create and attach files. In order to do all Korgi does, Google requires you to grant Korgi permission before you can use the app.

What parts of Google Workspace does Korgi connect to?

Korgi currently lets you connect Google Contacts and create, save, delete and attach Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Calendar events directly from any Korgi board. Korgi also creates a dedicated Google Drive folder for every board then saves board-generated documents to that folder for you. And, of course, the contents of Korgi boards are saved directly to tabs in the Sheets in your Google Drive.

Do Korgi boards connect to applications outside of Google Workspace?

If any item has a link/url, you can connect it to a card on a Korgi board. To create and launch files directly from Korgi, we are starting with Google Workspace tools, and MS365 and other apps are coming next! Korgi doesn't care which applications or platforms you use; we make it simple to manage your entire scattered universe of content from a single, beautiful board.

How do I turn off Google permissions for Korgi?

If you'd like to stop granting Korgi permission to log in through Google and connect to Workspace tools, log into Korgi, select your Google User icon on the upper right, then select "Remove Google Permissions." That will open Google's instructions to remove Korgi permissions.

Does Korgi work with Microsoft personal and work/school accounts?

Yes, you can sign into Korgi with any type of Microsoft account.

WHY WOULD I USE KORGI?

Use Korgi to quickly capture ideas.

Korgi is the perfect place to store ideas as they come to mind. You don't need to organize the first; just add them to a Korgi board! You can decide how you want to act on them at any time. Or you can leave them there until you're inspired or ready to do something with them. Unlike sticky notes, your Korgi board is available anywhere you go, and you can keep adding to the card and the boards however and whenever you want to.

Use Korgi to effortlessly organize information.

Use Korgi's intuitive note cards on a board to easily organize information into categories by column, color-coding or both. Examples: 1) separate your event attendee list into RSVPs of "Yes," "No" or "Maybe"; 2) arrange your To Do list by project, with columns and cards for each, including "Household," "Work," "Kids," etc.

Use Korgi to efficiently track progress.

Use Korgi's easy note cards and columns to create a "Kanban" experience for your work. Your first column of cards might be "To Do," followed by columns for "In Progress," "Awaiting Response," and "Done." Move individual cards left to right across your board into the correct status column as you progress.

Use Korgi to intuitively create content.

Whether you're writing a pilot script, a novel, screenplay beats, an essay, a design doc, a pitch deck, a research paper or your grad school thesis, the creative process starts with a flow of ideas. Korgi lets you capture ideas in any order, at any time, review, edit and rearrange them, color-code, archive and restore them, and access them on any device at any time. Once your creative content is organized into chapters, acts, scenes, paragraphs or whatever form you need, with a single click, you can export the cards into beautifully formatted Google Docs and Sheets! From note cards to a completed outline, book or paper in a single click? Good boy, Korgi!

Use Korgi to effectively collaborate in real time.

Power up your Korgi board by sharing it with collaborators! Set your board to "Co-Editing (Multiple Simultaneous Editors)", share it with collaborators, and everyone can create and edit cards, add connected links, events and files, and collectively create a powerful, organized, actionable board that keeps everyone you're working with - literally - on the same, beautiful page so you can make progress together.

What are some real world examples?
  1. Writers Room Board. Set up an idea bank in your first column. All ideas go in the bank, color-coded by character. Create new columns for Acts and/or Scenes, and drag the cards over as you break story. Once the board is locked, export to the related Sheet, and you have your first beat sheet!
  2. Task List. Set up a quick-save bank in your first column to add any and all to dos. Create columns by category (e.g., Personal, Work, Fitness), different projects or task status (like a Kanban board). Drag, drop and add cards to their respective columns. As you complete items, archive the cards to show progress!
  3. Table Assignments. Import the guest list for your event into the first column. Then create new columns for each of your tables. Color-code the cards by group (e.g., Bride's family, Groom's co-workers, etc.). Then drag and drop to quickly organize seating arrangements. Export the final board back to your Sheet for a list you can share with your Event Planner (or your clients)! Create multiple boards for the same list to create variations and discuss.
  4. Event Planning. Create cards for all of the proposed offerings, color-coding by category, type (keynote, panel), etc. Then create columns for each day of your event. Drag and drop to rearrange the offerings and build a compelling event - then export to easily build your schedule in the Sheet! Be sure to add your Marketing, Facilities, Catering and other colleagues to the board so you can manage the event from a single page!
  5. Research Papers. Create cards for each of your notes, color-coding by topic, category, etc. Create columns for each of your chapters, sections, etc., then drag and drop to place and order your research into a powerful paper. When you're finished, export to the Sheet to have a bullet point outline ready for you to begin writing!
  6. Interview Tracker. Create cards for each of your interviewees (casting, hiring, staffing, etc.). Create columns for interview status, from consideration, to interview/audition, to pass/consider/hire, and easily move your cards across the board. When you're done, export to the Sheet for a final copy of your process and to send updates!

HOW DO I USE KORGI?

Create a Korgi account.
  1. Open the Korgi homepage.
  2. Select "Try Korgi for Free."
  3. Choose the account where you want to manage data with a Korgi board (if you have multiple Google accounts). Sign in.
  4. Select "Continue." IMPORTANT: Korgi is in testing still (thank you for joining us in testing!), so you'll see a notice that the app is not verified.
  5. Check all permissions. Select "Select All" to retain the three pre-checked permissions (allowing you to log in with Google) and check the bottom three to allow you to create, edit and delete Google Workspace items straight from your Korgi board. Select "Continue."
  6. Congratulations, you have a Korgi account! You also have a new Google Drive folder called "Korgi" where all the documents you create with a board will be stored. Now, let's get you Korgi-nized.
View your "My Korgi Board" page.

Immediately after you sign into Korgi, you'll be taken to your My Korgi Boards list page. There, you can:

  1. Create and launch a new Korgi board
  2. Watch our Quick Start Videos
  3. Create a Korgi board from our pre-built templates
  4. Access your pinned list of favorite Korgis
  5. View, manage and launch a list of all your Korgi boards

Korgi boards are named after the tab they are stored to. Your list also shows what Sheet that tab is in, who owns it, if the Sheet is shared, and when it was last modified. Select the three dots to the far right of the board name (the "context menu") to Pin the board to your Pinned Board list, view the related tab in Google Sheets, or delete the board and its related tab.

Manage your Korgi board list.

All Korgi boards you create automatically are added to your Korgi Board list. In the list section, you can:

  1. Open a Korgi board. Select the name of the Korgi board you want to open. You will see a prompt on the bottom right of the page notifying you the board is loading, then the board will open in the same browser tab.
  2. Search for Korgi boards. Enter text to find boards by their name or their Sheet's name.
  3. Sort your Korgi boards. By default, your list is sorted with the most recent boards at top ("reverse chronology" order). By clicking on any of the header column names at the top of the list, you can sort by board Name, Google Sheet name, Owner or Last Modified Date. Each time you select a header column name, it will switch the sort between ascending and descending order.
  4. Pin/Unpin a Korgi board.Select the three dots ("context menu") at the far right of any Korgi board's entry, then select "Pin." That Korgi board now will appear in the "Pinned" board section directly above the list. To unpin, click the three dots again, and select "Unpin."
  5. Delete a Korgi board. Select the three dots ("context menu") at the far right of any Korgi board's entry, then select "Delete board." A notice will pop up advising that this will delete the board and its related tab for all users and cannot be undone. Select "Delete" to confirm deletion.
Update your Korgi board list.

Korgi tracks all boards you manage from the list page. But sometimes, items are shared or deleted in Google Drive, outside of Korgi. Select the three-dot "More Actions" icon to the right of your board list to update your list in two ways:

  1. Refresh Boards (the quickest method). Select this option, and Korgi will check the most recently modified ten Google Sheets in your Drive. If those files include any new Korgi boards (e.g., through a Sheet someone shared with you outside of Korgi), the boards then will appear on your list.
  2. Rebuild Boards (the most thorough method). Select this option, and Korgi will review all of the Sheets in your Google Drive to locate every tab containing a Korgi board. It may take a few minutes to rebuild the list if you have dozens or hundreds of Sheets in your Drive. (if so, you can cancel rebuilding to view your partially updated list.)
Manage your pinned Korgi boards.

The "Pinned" section of your My Korgi Boards list page displays boards you've pinned to have quick access to. For each pinned board, you can:

  1. Open the pinned board. Select the board icon to open the board.
  2. View the related Google Sheet. The name of the board's related Sheet appears below the name of the board, to help users distinguish between boards with identical names.
  3. Unpin the board. Select the "pushpin" icon on the upper right of the board icon to remove a board from your pinned list. The board is not deleted; it just no longer appears in the Pinned section.

HOW DO I CREATE A KORGI BOARD?

Create a new blank Korgi board.
  1. Select "Create New Board" (upper right).
  2. Choose the content source for your board.
    1. Create a blank board. This will create a board with blank cards.
    2. Use a pre-built template. Choose this for pre-built boards that are pre-populated with the steps, links and resources you need to succeed!
    3. Import from an existing Sheet. Korgi automatically loads your 50 most recent Sheets. You can search to find others. Select the Sheet containing the tab that has the content you want to use in your board, and Korgi will create cards from the contents in Column A. (If there's no header, Korgi also will create a top row card called "Contents.") IMPORTANT: Korgi doesn't touch your original tab; it creates a duplicate to manage board content with (the new tab begins with "k_"; it is the "related Sheet" for your board). And if your tab has additional columns of content after Column A, you can export organized cards to a new tab in that Sheet, and Korgi will match them back to those additional columns (e.g., match emails and phone numbers back to names you organized into an RSVP list using Korgi.)
  3. Choose where you want to save your board.

    Korgi board content is saved to a tab in a Google Sheet in your Google Drive.

    1. "A new Google Sheet." Korgi will create a new Google Sheet and add a tab for this board.
    2. "An existing Google Sheet." Korgi automatically loads your 50 most recent Sheets. You can search to find others. Select the Sheet you want to add store the board's content to, and Korgi will add a tab to that Sheet.

    IMPORTANT: You can add multiple Korgi board tabs to any Sheet, but you can't use the same board name twice in a Sheet. If you've entered a duplicate name for that Sheet, Korgi will add an incremental number to the end of the name to distinguish the boards.

  4. Select "Create Board" to build your first board.

Congratulations, your Korgi board just opened. And since it's your first Korgi board, Korgi also just created a dedicated folder for in your Google Drive called "Korgi." Korgi will create a dedicated subfolder for your first board, and all future boards, inside this main "Korgi" folder.

Create a new Korgi board from a template.

Korgi also offers Korgi board templates to get you organized incredibly fast. Korgi templates come pre-builts with cards, content, useful links, clear instructions on how to get started on a process. For example, our First-Year College Applications and Creative Talent Programs templates come pre-built with color-coded cards featuring application links, deadlines, submission requirements and more. To create a board from a Korgi template:

  1. Select the desired template.
  2. In the pop-up window, you'll be prompted to create and name a new Google Sheet and a new tab for this board.
  3. Enter those names, or use our default ones, and select "Create Board."
  4. Your new board will open in the same tab.
  5. For some templates, standard columns will appear as soon as your board loads. These might include Suggested Sections for columns you may want to independently add to the board, or a column with cards to add your own information and files.
  6. Add additional template columns by selecting the plus/"+" sign icon on the top right of any top row card. A pop up window will display a list of pre-populated columns for that template. For example, the First-Year College Application template might display a list of colleges to apply to.
  7. Check the list items you want to add to your board, and select "Add." Those columns and their cards now will appear on your Korgi board.
  8. Review all of the cards in the columns and select any links on the lower right of the card to visit related sites.
  9. Some cards in the template columns might include instructions for you. For example, a deadline card might suggest you "Create an Event." Click the three dots on the lower left of that card and select the Google Calendar icon to immediately create an event. Update the title, enter the correct date and time and save the new event. Return to your board to view the link to that event that now appears on that card.

Once you create Korgi board from a template, you can edit, move, delete and otherwise modify any card or column just as you would on any Korgi board. It will not affect the template itself. You can create multiple boards from the same template, and you can add the same column from a template to a board multiple times.

IMPORTANT: Korgi strives to keep our templates current, comprehensive and useful, but the third-party sites Korgi templates link to may change their information at any time without notifying Korgi. Always independently check and confirm any information, link or instruction on a Korgi template, and please notify Korgi if you discover an error. Korgi's templates are provided in good faith for general information purposes only. We make no representations of their accuracy and have no liability to you for any loss or damage incurred as a result of using templates or this site. Please read the full disclaimer in our Terms of Service.

HOW DO I USE A KORGI BOARD?

View your default cards.
  1. View your first column of cards.
  2. New blank boards. Korgi instantly creates a top row card ("Click + to add new columns or cards" ) and lower card ("Double-click to edit any card") when you open a blank board.
  3. Imported content. The first Korgi column displays the contents of Column A in the imported Google Sheets tab.
Add/Edit/Move individual cards.

Add cards. New cards can be added in three ways: 1) from the top row card of a column, selection the "+"/plus sign icon at the bottom center of that card to add a card to the bottom of the column. 2) in the last card of any column, double-click to enter "Edit" mode, then double-enter/select enter twice. This will create a new card at the bottom of the column. 3) from any card, enter "Edit" mode, then click Control+Enter. This will create a new card directly after the current card.

Edit cards. Double-click on any card to enter Edit mode and start typing. To save, select "Enter" or click away to save your new content. To cancel changes, select the "Escape" (Esc) key (there is no Escape option for mobile). To add a hard return/line break in the text of a card, select "Shift+Enter." (In mobile, Shift+Enter does not work on all keyboards.)

Move cards. Select and hold any card to drag and drop it to a new location anywhere on the board.

Add/Move/Sort columns of cards.

Add columns. On the top right of any top row card, click the "+" sign in the circle. This will create a new column immediately to the right of the current column.

Move columns. From any top row card, on the left and right middle, click the "`>`" (right) or "`<`" (left) arrow icon to move the current column one column to the right or left, respectively.

Sort columns. From any top row card, select the three dots on the bottom left to open the card settings "Drawer." Select the up arrow to sort cards alphabetically ascending and the down arrow to sort cards alphabetically descending. NOTE: unarchived cards are not included when you sort. Select the checkmark icon to save updates you've made, or click away from the card. Or select the "X" icon at the bottom of the drawer to cancel any changes.

Export cards to create a new document.

Select Export from the top navigation bar (or the hamburger menu upper left on small screens and mobile) to transform your organized boards into formatted Google Docs or Sheets. You can export cards in three ways:

  1. Export board to a Google Doc. Select this option to instantly create and launch a Google Doc containing all of your card content in board order (the first column, followed by the second column, etc.). Top row cards will be formatted as "Header 2", and the lower cards in that column will appear as "Normal Text." All connected links from your cards will be displayed directly after the card's text. TIP: Select the "Document Outline" icon to the top left of the Google Doc to display or hide "Document Outline View," which will list all of your top row cards for easy navigation.
  2. Export board to a Google Sheet (all data).Select this option to instantly create and launch a two-column Google Sheet tab, with your lower cards listed in column order in the A column, and their related top row cards matched to each card in the right column. For example, if you had a list of attendees categorized by RSVP status ("Yes," "No," "Maybe"), this export option would list the attendees names in the first Sheet tab column and their RSVP status in the second Sheet tab column. If any cards were archived, they also will appear, at the bottom of the list, with the phrase "Archived." Also, if any cards have connected items, the links will appear in a third column called "links." IMPORTANT: If you imported a Sheet tab to create this Korgi board, when you export the board, any additional columns from the original tab will be added to the exported version of the board. For example, if the original attendee list you imported to Korgi had the attendees' emails and phone numbers in the same list, when you export their RSVP status to a new Sheet tab, Korgi will match their emails and phone numbers back to the newly exported tab.
  3. Export board to a Google Sheet as a table (visible card contents only).Select this option to instantly create and launch a two-column Google Sheet tab that mirrors the structure of the Korgi board. Only unarchived cards appear as contents on the new Sheets tab, with columns and their cards in the same order as on the Korgi board.
  4. Export board to Google Slides.Select this option to instantly create a Google Slide deck you then can easily design with Google Slide themes or your own styles and files:
    1. A title slide. The first slide will display your connected Sheet and board name.
    2. Slides for each column.Each subsequent slide will display the top row card text, with a bullet point list of all of the lower card text from that column.
    3. Related links. All connected links from your cards will be displayed after the card's text on the related slide.
Save your board.

Korgi automatically saves changes to your board every five minutes. To manually save, click the "Save" button up top. Board content is stored in a related Google Sheet in your Google Drive in your board's dedicated folder.

Undo/Overwrite/Revert to an earlier version of your board.

Undo a change to a card.While you're still in "Edit mode" on a card, select Control+Z/Command+Z to undo changes. Once you've saved edits to a card, they can't be undo on the board; Control+Z/Command+Z will not undo card edits.

Undo a change to a board.Korgi doesn't currently have an "Undo" feature to board changes (Settings changes, moved cards and columns, etc.). Korgi saves your board content automatically every five minutes while the board is open, and you can manually save at any time. Because your data is saved in Google Sheets, not our servers, you have the option to revert your board to the last saved version using Google Sheets' "version history" functionality.

  1. Open the board's related Google Sheets tab. In your My Korgi Board list, find the board name, select the three dots to the far right of the name, and select "Open Related Sheet." The Sheets tab containing that Korgi board's data will open in a new browser tab.
  2. On the top menu, select File, then Version History. This will open a collapsed accordion list of all versions of every tab in this Google Sheet.
  3. Expand the collapsed date sections to view a list of all saved versions of the tabs on this Sheet.
  4. Select any date to view that version of the related Sheet tab for your board.
  5. Find the desired earlier version you'd like to restore, then select "Restore this Version." In the pop up window that appears, confirm that you'd like to replace the current version of the Sheet tab with this prior version.
  6. Return to your Korgi board, and select the "Overwrite" option on the top navigation bar. A pop up window will advise that this will overwrite the current contents of the board with the contents of the related Sheets tab. You'll be prompted to confirm this; select "Overwrite" to continue.
  7. Your Korgi board now will display the board contents, settings and order of the restored version of the related Sheets tab.

Delete cards and columns.

These options are available in a card's drawer.

Delete a column. For top row cards only: select the trashcan icon to delete the entire column. A dialog box will prompt you to confirm you want to delete this entire column of cards from the board and its connected Google Sheet tab.

Delete a card. For lower cards only: select the trashcan icon to delete the card. A dialog box will prompt you to confirm you want to delete the card from the board and its connected Google Sheet tab. IMPORTANT: Deletion cannot be undone from your Korgi board. We recommend you save the Board prior to deleting a card or column so you have the option to restore the board to the version immediately prior to deletion.

NOTE: Because Korgi doesn't actually store any of your board content to our databases (it's stored to a Sheet in your Google Drive), you may be able to restore an earlier version of your board after deletion. Google Sheets has versioning that allows you to view and restore previously saved versions. If you make changes to your board, including deletions, that you want to undo, open the related Google Sheet from the My Board List page.

Then in the menu, choose File, Version history, See Version History. Each date displayed there shows a timestamped list of changes. Select the version you'd like to restore, then select "Restore this Version." Then return to the related Korgi board and select the Overwrite button upper left. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to overwrite the current contents of the board with an earlier version. Once overwriting is completed, the board will display the contents, colors and connected items from the restored version.

WHAT CONTENT OR DATA LIMITS DOES KORGI HAVE?

How many Korgi boards can I create?

Korgi doesn't limit the number of boards a user can create. Because Korgi content is stored to a related Google Sheet, users are limited by the available storage space in their Google Drives.

How much text can I add to a Korgi card?

Korgi doesn't limit the length of text on a Korgi card. Because Korgi content is stored to a related Google Sheet, users are limited by current size restrictions on Sheets, which are very high. For longer cards, Korgi recommends you:

HOW DO I SHARE A KORGI BOARD?

Share your Korgi board with other users.

To allow other users to view and/or edit your Korgi board:

  1. Select the "Share" button (upper right on your board page). The "Share" pop up window will appear on your screen.
  2. Enter the Google Account email for the user in the Email field.

NOTE: Each user has to create their own Korgi account before they can access the board.

Set the sharing type for your Korgi board.

Korgi boards with multiple editors can be edited in two ways: "Single editor" or "Co-editing." Only the board owner can select these from within the "Share" pop up window:

  1. Single editor.Only one editor can make changes to the board at a time. If another user with shared access opens a board while an existing editor is editing it, they will be notified that the board is in use, and they will temporarily have "View Only" status.
    1. NOTE: that user can select "Request Access" to advise the current user that they'd like to edit the board. The current user then will see a notice to "Grant" or "Decline" access. If the user doesn't respond within five minutes of the request, the board will autosave their most recent edits and transfer editing access to the requesting editor.
  2. Co-editing (multiple real-time users).All editors can make edits simultaneously on the board. Changes made to card contents or appearance affect all boards and appear immediately.

The board Owner can change the shared editing type at any time. The change will take effect the next time each user opens the board.

    1. When would I use this? Add viewers to your board when you need others to easily see your content or progress on a project and to interact with connected documents and links. For example, a college applicant might share their board with their college counselor or program advisor so they can track progress, read and comment on linked essays, etc. Similarly, a screenwriter might add their agent or manager as a Viewer to easily view the status of projects, read beat sheets or script drafts, etc.
  1. If you are an "Editor" of the shared board, you will be able to edit all card and board contents and settings, export and overwrite the board. You will not be able to share it with other users.
    1. When would I use this? Add editors to your board when you are collectively working with others to complete and organize a project, create content, etc. For example, an events team might all edit the same Korgi board to add speakers, agenda items, upload receipts and facility images, and more. In another instance, co-writers on a research paper or script might share a board to post research and related files and links, as well as to contribute and organize creative content.
Remove a user from my Korgi board.

Owners can remove any user they've shared a board with by opening the board, clicking on "Share" in the top menu, finding that user's name on the list of collaborators, then selecting "Remove" from the dropdown options to the right of that name.

  9. Select "Cancel" to close the extension pop up or "View Board" to open a refreshed version of the chosen Board. NOTE: if the chosen board already is open in a browser tab, select "Cancel." When you're ready to view the content from the extension in your board, select "Overwrite" to make the new card(s) visible on the board.
When would I use the Korgi Clipper Chrome Extension?

The Korgi Clipper Chrome Extension makes researching incredibly fast and easy. As you search and find useful content for a board, you can add everything to the board without opening a separate tab, copying and pasting, then finding your way through multiple browser tabs back to where you were. And by saving to a Korgi board, you're creating a one-stop, command central for the information that you can easily find (versus hundreds of browser bookmarks and folders) and act on. Now you can use the same information to create new content, organize your thoughts, plan steps, archive for later consideration and much more.

HOW CAN I TROUBLESHOOT ISSUES ON KORGI?

I can't find my Korgi boards.

Korgi boards are saved to Sheets in the Google Drive of the account you signed into Korgi with. Confirm that the Google Account you see in your browser is the same account you signed into Korgi with. You may have created a free trial with a different account than the one you ultimately subscribed and being building boards with.

I created a new board, but it didn't open.

Your browser's settings may block all pop ups by default. This prevents Korgi from opening a new tab to display your newly created board, even though the board has been created. To fix this, if you've just created the board, check the address bar at the top of the tab. On the right side, you will see an icon with an "x" or "! that indicates a pop up has been blocked. Click and allow pop ups from Korgi. If you don't see the pop up blocker icon, simply reload the "My Board List" page, and you'll see your newly created board at the top of your list.

I can't find the file(s) I created with my Korgi board(s).

Korgi creates a "Korgi" folder in the Google Drive of the account you sign into Korgi with, and it saves documents you create from your boards to dedicated subfolders for each board. To find documents: check for and select the Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Calendar icons on the cards on your Korgi boards; select the "Related Folder" icon on the top navigation bar to open any board's folder; or search the Korgi folder in your Google Drive. If you still do not see the files you were working on, confirm that the Google Account you see in your browser is the same account you signed into Korgi with. You may have created a free trial with a different account than the one you ultimately subscribed and being building boards with. Also, check with anyone you share your board with in the event they created the document. They may have restricted the visibility of that document after you worked on it together.

My board contents didn't save.

Korgi boards automatically save every five minutes, and you can manually save at any time. If you are not able to save your board:

  1. Confirm that your Internet access is still connected. Korgi is a web app, so it requires an Internet connection. If you don't have Internet access, stop working on the board until you are connected again. You may also want to take a screenshot of recent changes.
  2. Check with any other editors of the board to see if they have made changes in co-editing mode. If they are simultaneously editing, they may have changed or moved cards you worked on.
  3. Check the related Google Sheets tab with this board's contents. If you see the changes there, but not on your board, return to your board and select "Overwrite" to restore the Sheets content to your board. Additionally, you can check the Sheet tab's version history to see prior versions of the board that might have your changes, particularly if multiple users are editing.
  4. This is highly unlikely, but you may have exceeded Google's limits on the number of characters in a cell (10s of thousands) or the number of cells, rows or columns in a Sheet (millions).
I can't create new boards.

Korgi boards are saved to Sheets in your Google Drive. If your Google Drive has exceeded its storage limit, you will not be able to create new documents, including the Sheets needed to create Korgi boards. Visit your Google Drive page to confirm you have sufficient available space for new files, or add more space to your drive.

I'm having trouble dragging-and-dropping cards on my touchscreen device.

If you used your devices zoom settings to resize your window to view your board, use those settings to reset the screen to 100%. Then use Korgi's zoom/magnifier tool on the board navigation bar to resize the screen.

The card I'm dragging-and-dropping on my touchscreen device sometimes disappears.

When you touch a card on screen to move it, it sometimes offsets slightly to the left of the current column. If you are on a small screen, such as a mobile phone, it may look like the card disappeared. Continue dragging and dropping to place the card in the new position, and it will appear there. To see the card as you drag, try zooming out (to make the board smaller and see more cards at a time), using the zoom/magnifier tool in the top navigation bar.

The text on my card is cut off on top.

To realign card text to the top of the card: double-enter on the card to enter edit mode, then save; or drag and drop the card to another location on the board then back to the desired location.

Scrolling the board is very slow.

To speed up scrolling on boards, archive inactive cards and columns. Then open Board Settings, and under "Show on Board/Cards,"" deselect "Archives." This will hide cards on the board but not remove or delete them.
