How do I request a human review for a task on the Kanban board?▼

To request a human review, move the Kanban board task to the review workflow column. The system coordinates the review process by allowing you to add comments and manage blocked states with specific reasons.

What's the best way to structure project epics and tasks for sprint planning?▼

The best way to structure sprint planning is by organizing work hierarchically into projects, epics, and tasks on the Kanban board. You can then update task content, set flags, and track progress across defined workflow columns.
