What is a board?

Last updated on Aug 06, 2025

A board is the core component of a mesh, it is a web page accessible at the short code you configure.

Each Usermesh plan, from free to subscription allows you to create a fixed number of boards.

A board has a name and short code and can either use the default colours of the mesh, or can have it's own colours. The short code is the URL that the page is accessible at, eg. yourmesh.umesh.co/page-short-code.

A board can be set as the default so that it loads when the mesh is accessed without a specific page URL specified (eg. if you just visit yourmesh.umesh.co).

A board can also be marked as disabled, which allows you to make it unavailable without needing to fully delete it. In case you want to bring it back later.

Once you've created a board you can start adding content to it.

Your members get access to all the boards you create.
