My team and I do design work for external clients. We do our daily work in a board that clients can’t access. Eventually, we wind up with finished items that we want to share with clients. Right now, we copy and paste those items into a second board shared with our clients, leaving us with two copies of stuff.

Is there a way to directly embed frames from the team board into the client-facing board? 

If that’s not possible, does anyone have best practices to share about how to manage work-in-progress vs. client-facing content? We have a lot of scratch work, stuff we’re not ready to share with clients, comments, etc. on our team boards, so letting clients into those boards and hiding frames isn’t practical.

 

Hi @Sharon Stern. The is currently no way to limit access to a specific board object, e.g., a Frame -- there is even at least one Wish List post requesting this feature that I would suggest you add your vote to:

https://community.miro.com/ideas/frame-links-should-give-access-to-the-frame-alone-2460

Options

1) Build it using the Miro Developer Platform

You could explore having someone build you a custom app that would allow you do what you are describing above.

A few companies you could approach to discuss this are:

2) Embed a board to a website in presentation mode

While it does not stop the user from opening the entire board, you can embed a board into a website and “autoplay” as a presentation, and you can specificy which frame shoudl be displayed first.

For exmaple, have a look at this board:
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVO73MS7c=/

And here it is embedded into an external website and the presentation mode starts on frame #2:

I suppose you would look at having a developer add some code to hide the part of the embedded board that links to the board, to reduce the chance of the user opening the enitre board. Again, all of this does stop the user from seeing the entire board if they really want to.

How the embedded board looks by default:

 

And what it could look like if a developer added an element to cover up the board name:

 

I hope that helps!


Thanks for your answer @Robert Johnson. More than giving access to a single frame, I’m interested in embedding a frame from one board into a second board. That doesn’t seem to be something you can do today -- I’ll look around for a wish list request to upvote.

Correct. You can only embed an entire board.
