Add the same object - box won;t go away and cannot edit on screen


Hi,

 

Could anyone advise how I get this box down from my Miro board:

 

It won’t let me edit anymore, instead it keeps trying to make new boxes.

 

I’m certain my butter fingers managed to get this up so I don’t know what I’ve done to get it there to remove it - Google search is reaping no solutions either.

 

Any help would be great as I don’t want to delete the board and start again

Was it helpful?

@Rachael McCallum - If I am understanding you correctly, the diagramming shape selection dialogue is “stuck” on your screen and won’t go away? If so, have you tried:

  • reloading the board
  • clearing our cache and cookies (or resetting the app data if using the Miro desktop app)
  • signing out and back in of your Miro account
  • duplicating the board - does it still appear on the duplicate?

@Robert Johnson I also had the same problem, found your comments, and reloading the board worked.  Thanks

Hi ​@Peter Revill, I’m so glad to hear that reloading the board worked for you! 🎉 Sometimes a quick refresh really does the trick with stuck tools or UI glitches.

 

If you ever run into something like this again and a reload doesn’t help, feel free to share a screenshot or let us know what tool or mode seems stuck — always happy to help troubleshoot more!

 

Thanks for circling back to confirm it worked
