When Miro releases updates, I get these annoying “what’s new” popups all over the screen. I don’t want to see them - they get in the way of me actually using the board to get work done.
How do I permanently disable these popups? I don’t see any options in preferences, anywere.

And if you need to get back to the popup to use the Mark all as read option, you can:
That should get you back to the popup with the Mark all as read option.
The irony: I just got an email notification from Miro that there’s been activity in this thread, but when I follow the link, I find that nothing (apparently) has happened. 🤦
Day six !! :(

This didn’t work for me. I clicked the Mark all as read button a week or so ago. Today when I opened Miro I saw the What’s New pop up again. It’s really annoying and slows me down.
You likely saw two popups as there have been two different What’s-new posts in the past week - one last Tuesday:
And a new item this Monday:

I don’t believe there’s any way to permanently disable those popups, but I wanted to clarify whether you were getting more than a single one? As far as I know, there is usually a single dialog box with the details of the update and once you’ve dismissed it you shouldn’t see that again.

Today I noticed a blue bar at the top of my Miro board mentioning something about videos and with a button/link to see whats new. I instinctively dismissed it before realizing that this was a much more minimal and less intrusive version of “what’s new” than the old modal, so I didn’t get a screenshot.
I’d like to again extend my thanks for making this experience less intrusive.
When I think of Miro today, I think of the collaborative diagramming tool that lets me link parts of my diagram to other documentation and internal systems. I no longer think of the thing that throws popups at me.
Thank you <3

I thought I’d come back and say that I feel I’ve experienced a reduction in the number of pop-ups. It could be that I’m using Miro more often so the same pop-up frequency affects a lower proportion of visits, or the popups might actually be less frequent in general.
I’d still prefer a setting, and I still immediately close them without ever reading them, but the popups aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when I think “Miro” anymore.
So if there’s been a change, thank you for it.
