Users will now have the ability to [add notes to different boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postpad), which can function as a to-do list for users. Additionally pinning content to boards can provide a visual cue for the user, as to what projects they want to work on in the future. The Pinterest platform will also suggest different ways for users to organize the pins they have. This allows users to [break up tasks into different categories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-freeboard-app), making it easier to work on different projects. The platform is continuing to make changes due to the fact that it is seeing a drastic increase in traffic during the COVID-19 lockdown.
