Hi there!

I have a scenario where I want to create a miro board that I can share in a online course. Since the users of the board will be “random” people who take the course, is there an option to share my board, but force the user to duplicate the board for themselves?

 

@Lasse Olsen -

If you want each user to have their own board rather than having them collaborate together with you during the course on a single board, a simpler option would be to just backup the board to a local RTB file and share that with them. They could then restore it within their own Miro accounts assuming they are on a paid plan.

@Lasse Olsen - An even easier way to share a board with any Miro user (even Free Plan to Free Plan) is to:

  1. Put the board in “Anyone with the link” can view mode - this is called Visitors mode.
  2. OPTIONAL (and a paid feature): Password Protect the board.
  3. Send the recipient(s) a link to the board.
  4. They open the board, click on the board title, and use the Duplicate button.

Here is a link to these steps again, but with a few screenshots:

And if you run into any issues, here is an even more detailed post I did about this:

Try saving your board as a template. Then you could either insert multiple instances of that template onto a single shared board (that’s how I usually teach), or invite your learners to insert that template into their own boards.

the users of the board will be “random” people who take the course

My interruption of this is that the board recipients will not be members of the Miro team/subscription where the Custom Template resides and therefore would not have access to it.

Yeah, that works for me: I share the board’s URL with participants ahead of time via Zoom chat, email, Slack, etc.

Yes, you’re 100% right 

Thank you all @Kiron Bondale @Robert Johnson and @Richard Kasperowski for the knowledge! Highly appreciated.

I think for my specific scenario Robert suggestion will work the best 🙂 I’ll test it out with some users and see how the user flow is. 

Best

@Lasse Olsen - If you want to see the flow in action for yourself, here are two boards that you can Duplicate into your own account:

  1. A board in a Free Plan → https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lsVdHIU=/
  2. A board in a Consultant Plan (Board Content Settings set to allow anyone with the board access to copy content)  → https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kl4Sue4=/?invite_link_id=169590644957
