Critical Issue: Specific board inaccessible and cannot be duplicated after server instability

Hello Miro Support Team,

I am experiencing a critical issue with a specific board following the recent server instability. I spent several hours working on this board, editing across both desktop and mobile.

Yesterday, I created a Miro board containing only four small diagrams across two pages with text blocks—nothing more. I am currently developing characters and spent the entire night writing on this board. I began editing on my computer and continued via the mobile app throughout the night. When I woke up today, I tried to access my dashboard but was unsuccessful, later realizing there was an instability with Miro's servers.

Now that all server statuses are reported as functional, I can access my dashboard on both the mobile app and browser. However, I still cannot access the specific board I was editing, nor can I even duplicate it. While the general Miro status is now "Functional" and I can access my dashboard, this specific board is completely inaccessible. This work is extremely important to me, and I have already performed extensive troubleshooting to isolate the issue:

The Problem:

  • Infinite Loading: When attempting to open the board via browser, it hangs indefinitely.

  • "Something went wrong": Error message received when trying to duplicate the board via the mobile app.

  • "Connection Failed": The mobile app shows a connection error specifically for this board, despite my internet being stable.

Troubleshooting already performed:

  1. Isolation Test: I can create, edit, save, and duplicate new boards without any issues across all platforms (Desktop app, Mobile app, and Browser).

  2. Network Tests: The issue persists on 5G mobile data, different Wi-Fi networks, and even when using a VPN to change regions.

  3. Browser Cleanup: Tested in Incognito/Private mode with the same results (infinite loading).

  4. Cross-Platform: The failure occurs on both iOS/Android and Windows/Web.

Board Details:

It seems the board's state became corrupted in the database during the server outage. Is there any way to restore a previous version of this board or recover the data?

I look forward to your urgent assistance.

Best regards,

HI everyone!

Thanks for reporting this and for the detailed information.

Could you confirm if this is still happening on your side? In some cases, issues like this resolve after the system fully syncs post-outage.

I’ll also notify the Support team about this incident for further investigation. In the meantime, please continue with basic troubleshooting steps here:

I’ll update you once I hear back from the team.

My board has also been corrupted since yesterday and tried all the same steps, without success unfortunately. I hope something can be done to resolve this issue
