+## Trigger column and move-mode
+
+Two options in the Recurring schedule dialog change *where* and *how* a card recurs:
+
+- **Trigger column.** By default (`Any`) a card fires wherever it sits. Set a **Trigger column** and
+  it only fires while parked there -- so a template spawns only from its "active" column, and moving
+  it elsewhere quietly pauses it. The **`any but selected`** checkbox inverts the choice (fire in
+  every column *except* the selected one, e.g. "any but Archive"). The **target column never
+  triggers**, in any mode -- this is what lets a moved card come to rest in the target without
+  re-firing. (One edge to know: a *duplicate* template dragged into its own target column no longer
+  spawns; previously it fired from any column. Templates normally sit elsewhere, so this rarely
+  bites.)
+- **Move instead of copy.** Tick **"Move the card instead of creating a copy"** and RecoReco
+  relocates the *one* card to the target column each period instead of spawning a clone -- made for a
+  recurring chore you don't want piling up copies. Pair it with a trigger column: e.g. trigger =
+  `Done`, target = `Todo` -- cron moves the card `Done -> Todo` when it's due; you do the task and
+  drag it back to `Done`; repeat. Move-mode honors the recurrence limit (stop after N moves) but not
+  the FinanceBuddy follow (there is no copy to advance an installment on). Moves are silent (no
+  "moved to column" notification each period).
+
 ## Status
 
 All five frequencies work (yearly, monthly by day, monthly by weekday, weekly, daily) with the
 last-day rule, board recurrence icons, backfill with the 12-occurrence cap, the Run-now button, a
-recurrence limit (standalone or following FinanceBuddy installments), and the FinanceBuddy
