Entire Miro workspace disappeared — account acting like new user

I’m trying to figure out if anyone else has experienced something like this.

I’ve been actively working on a Miro board for about a month. Recently my computer logged me out of several applications at once. When I logged back into Miro, it behaved as if I were a brand-new user.

All of my boards and history were gone. The only thing visible was what looks like a default starter board — as if this were my first time signing into the account.

I didn’t delete anything, change plans, or intentionally switch workspaces. It just suddenly appears wiped.

Has anyone else run into a situation where their boards or workspace vanished like this? If so, what caused it and how did you recover your work?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

@Mitch Moonde What you are describing is what happens when someone who doesn't have a Miro account is invited to collaborate on a board or join a team. They must then create an account before they can actually work on a board. Now they are a part of one team workspace or which they are not the team admin. Then, one day, the team admin removes them from the team (most commonly because it is a free plan team and the new invitee is consuming one or more of the 3-editable board limit). Finally, as soon as Miro detects that an account profile is not a member of a workspaces they are prompted to create their own free team workspace.

If this scenario sounds like yours, and you really need the board back, the first thing I would say is, if the board happened to be set to allow "anyone with the link" can view", and if you had the link still (e.g., from your browser history), you could open it and duplicate it to your new team workspace. 

A few other things to try:

- Of you have the board link, click it and then user the "request access" option and hope that someone gives you access back.

- if you were previously invited to the team/a board, try clicking that link again.

- if you remember who invited you to the team, reach out to them .

I put all of the above in more detail in this post:
