Video: on a template, the date of the event moves two months later – every due date of the preview counts back from it.

Dates count back

## What is on the board

Every list and card the template creates. Labels, dates and checklists come with them; nothing is assigned to anyone yet. Due dates count from a start date, which you pick when you create the board.

### Labels

-   Must
-   Should
-   Could
-   Blocked
-   Decision needed

### Custom fields
