I am surprized that I can’t organize my boards in folders. I have just started with Miro and I have only 10 boards and even that is hard to manage. I have to believe people have hundreds of boards as I will have someday. How do they organize boards?

Why can’t I create a folder structure?

My solution is to name boards like this:

 

AA - Board 1

AA - Board 2

BB - Board 1

etc…

This is pretty hokey.

 

Any ideas? 

Hi @11 Sun,

 

Welcome to Miro, and thanks for sharing your feedback! I understand—it can be tricky to keep boards organized, especially as the number grows. While Miro doesn’t currently offer folders for board organization, here are a few tips that might help:

  1. Naming Conventions: As you mentioned, starting board names with categories (like AA, BB) can be useful. Some users add dates or project codes to help identify boards quickly.

  2. Projects Feature: If you’re on a paid plan, you can use Projects to group related boards. This is similar to folders and can help streamline navigation.

  3. Tags: Adding tags to boards can make it easier to find specific boards through search.

  4. Dashboard Search and Filters: Try using the search bar and filters on your dashboard to quickly locate boards by name or owner, especially if they’re tagged or grouped by project.

If folder organization is something you’d love to see in Miro, please consider submitting this as a feature request via our Wish List. Our team reviews these requests regularly, and community input really helps shape future updates!

 

Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions as you get started. 😊

Thanks for responding. I am on the paid Starter Plan. 

 

I don’t see “Projects” anywhere. I dont see it in the interface and it is not mentioned on your pricing page.

 

What is a project and where can I find them?

 

Thanks, 

Hi @11 Sun,

 

Thanks for getting in touch!

 

You may want to check the Spaces (previously known as Projects). 

 

This acts like a folder where you can add your boards and categorize them based on your preference.

Thank you! That should work perfectly for me.

Geez why do they have to come up with a different name for folders???

Hi @11 Sun,

 

You’re very welcome! 😊 I’m glad to hear that Spaces (formerly known as Projects) will work well for you.

 

And I understand your point—it can be a bit confusing with different terminology! "Spaces" essentially function as folders, but with some added flexibility for organizing and collaborating with teams. Hopefully, now that you’ve got a handle on it, managing boards will feel more streamlined!

 

If any other questions pop up, feel free to ask. 

 

Thank you! That should work perfectly for me.

Coming soon: Sections, which will be folders within spaces, i.e., sub folders.
