@Phill R - There are multiple ways - here are few:

Control Panel

Either find it in the Start menu or you should just be able to paste this into the address bar of any Windows Explorer folder and press Enter β†’ Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features​​​​​​​

And then you’ll see:

 

Miro.exe

Or go right to the Miro.exe executable β†’ right-click on it β†’ Properties β†’ Details:

Mine was installed in:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\RealtimeBoard\Miro.exe


Maybe as a suggestions Miro could include an β€œAbout” menu item with version and other info?

I found it in windows control panel / apps & features; I had been looking in the actual Miro GUI.
I have 0.4.2

@Phill R - A third way is from the Task Manager:

  1. Open Task Manager (right-click on task bar and select Task Manager or use use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
  2. Expand More details β†’ Details tab β†’ right-click on Miro.exe β†’ Properties β†’ Details tab.

Me too. I might have found that ALT made the menu pop up while you are editing a board but I would not have guessed you need to go back to the front screen / dashboard and then press ALT.

wooh thank you so much! I just spend 2 hours looking for the help button. I thought I was supposed to hit alt when I clicked the help button, not to just revealing it!
