Will the members receive an email if I delete myself from a secret group board?

Community Answer

No, they are not notified. It is up to you to notify others that you have deleted yourself.

I don’t want to delete the entire board, just items within the board. How do I accomplish that?

Click on the board, then click on the 'Organize' tab for the board, and select the pins you want to delete. Then click the little trash icon at the bottom.

Tips

You can delete secret boards the same way you delete your regular boards--the only difference is that your secret boards will be at the bottom of your screen rather than grouped with the rest of your boards (desktop method only).

Thanks
