How do I stop the sidebar from being opened every time I log in

The sidebar does not fit into my work flow, there fore I close it every time I use Miro. Every time I log in to a computer and open up Miro the side bar is open.


Why does using Miro necessitate closing down an unwanted side tab, how come the work space is not how I left it? I close down the sidebar, sometimes multiple times a day, when jumping between meetings and computers. How do I stop this being a part of my day?

​@Rasmus Bergström If you are referring to the Spaces sidebar that opens every time you open a Miro board, there is a wish list post requesting that Miro stops forcing this upon users — I suggest that you upvote the idea and leave your feedback in the post:

​@Rasmus Bergström 

I created a browser extension that remembers the user’s preference to keep the sidebar closed:
