This article describes the features related to the Classic Board interface that will soon be discontinued. Klaxoon accounts created after March 2, 2026 have the New Board Experience enabled by default. Find the New Board Experience article here.
Dot-Voting is a simple, participative method that allows each member of your team to vote on the ideas or proposals that seem most relevant. The aim is to weight the votes for a more collective and equitable decision-making process.
