Adding additional boards in Azure Devops

Question

In my team the list of boards, e.g. this page https://dev.azure.com/myorg/MentalHealth/_boards/directory, only contains one board, called 'MentalHealth Team boards' (N.B. I don't understand why that name is plural):

Other teams I work with have multiple boards listed. How do I add additional team boards?

I don't understand why that name is plural

It's plural because you can have multiple boards here. For example, you can have boards for Epics and Issues:

The All teams boards lists all boards of all teams, according to then img you provided, there is only one team MentalHealth Team in this project.

You can check Project Settings - Teams see if there is only one team in it.

In addition, you can see there are three team boards in my Boards since there are three teams in this project:

You need to go to project setting -> project configuration -> areas and then add boards under existing boards by clicking on new child. Hope this helps.

But that doesn't give you a new board? That gives you a new are. Or am I missing something? – Tennyson

Answer 3

To have multiple boards, you need to go to Project Settings -> Teams -> Add team, what allows you to then switch boards in the board view and see them in the directory. This flow is not exactly intuitive.
