hi ​@Eudora Hammer,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot — I can see what you mean. What’s happening here is that those branches are part of a Mind Map in Miro. In a Mind Map, subtopics are automatically “anchored” to their parent node and the app controls their position, so dragging them freely won’t work (they’ll snap back as you noticed).

You’ve got a couple of options:

1. Detach the item

   • If you need full control of positioning, you can convert the subtopic into a regular shape/sticky. Then, you can connect the shape into the mindmap and adjust the colors and lines so it will be cohesive. Once detached, you can move it anywhere, but it won’t snap back.

2. Reduce the font size
    

   

3. Adjust the size of the image
    

   

So, if you want them to stay part of the Mind Map, you’ll be limited to Miro’s auto-layout. If you want absolute freedom, converting them into standalone objects is the way to go.     

Hope this helps!

Thanks Eca, that is helpful, I really appreciate it!
