In the world of project management, team collaboration, and remote working, Trello has long been a trusted tool for millions of users worldwide. Trello is an incredible tool that can be transformative for many business owners, freelancers, and Virtual Assistants alike. At TVAC, we’re a big fan of Trello! However, like any platform in the ever-evolving digital space, Trello occasionally introduces changes to enhance its service. It’s inevitable. And Trello is rolling out at least one new change for 2024: the adjustment of collaborator limits for free Trello Workspaces. Read on to learn more about Trello changes 2024.
Effective April 8, 2024, free Trello Workspaces will be capped at a maximum of 10 collaborators. These collaborators include Workspace members, guests, and pending invitations. This change aligns with similar restrictions found in other Atlassian products’ free editions.
To facilitate a smooth transition for teams, Trello will implement this limit in two phases:
Initial Limitation (Starting April 8, 2024): If a free Trello Workspace already hosts 10 or more collaborators, adding new members will be prohibited. However, this restriction can be circumvented by either upgrading the plan or reducing the number of collaborators below the stipulated limit.
View-Only Mode (Starting May 20, 2024): Workspaces surpassing the 10-collaborator threshold will experience a shift to view-only mode for their boards. While users can still access the boards within the Workspace, any modifications will be disabled unless the plan is upgraded or the collaborator count is reduced.
For those seeking to maintain the free edition of Trello while exceeding the 10-collaborator cap, guidance is available on how to manage collaborators via Trello’s support page.
Alternatively, if you want to accommodate more than 10 collaborators within a Workspace, you will need to consider a paid Trello plan. These plans offer an array of features tailored to various team needs, with detailed comparisons available to assist in selecting the most suitable option. Furthermore, discounts are available for educational and non-profit entities, reinforcing Trello’s commitment to supporting diverse communities.
Despite these adjustments, Trello remains steadfast in its commitment to providing a robust tool for teams to achieve their goals efficiently. Whether it’s tracking to-do lists, planning events, managing work tasks, encouraging collaboration, or driving positive social change, Trello continues to empower users worldwide. And, at TVAC, we still love it!
