I have been invited to be part of a MIRO board. There are 100s of post-its created. I am trying to copy the post-its in bulk from MIRO to Word Doc/PPT or Excel.  It is not working.

However, individually if I copy text from Post-its, it works.  This is not an ideal solution as there are 100s of post-its. Appreciate any help or suggestion.

Additional Contexts: I don’t have any admin rights to export board. I do have editing rights. I am using Edge on Mac.

@Venky - You can export sticky notes to CSV for opening in Excel:

@Marina - Should that FAQ say “export”?

Here’s the sticky text export in action:

 

Thanks @Robert Johnson . I don’t see the Export option CSV option. Is this something that the admin can disable?

The board owner can control control who can copy/export board content via the Board Content Settings:

And if you are not a member of the team, a Team Admin may need to make team-level changes if the board owner doesn't have the option to allow "anyone with the board access" to copy content - all of this is outlined in the above link.

The quickest resolution may be to ask the board owner to export the sticky note data for you. 

Thanks @Robert Johnson   It seems to be the case. The board owner has disabled all the copy and export functionalities.
