The new feature where frames can be turned into slides is causing havoc on my boards. It means that frames that were locked can be unlocked (even with the shield lock). The only way I have found to stop it is changing the access from ‘editor’ to ‘can comment’ but this means those with the board link cannot even add sticky notes (which we do a lot).
Help please!! The impact this morning resulted in a chaotic session :(
Hi
Thanks for flagging the issue!
Just wanted to share a quick update from the Miro Support team:
This behavior is not expected, and the engineering team is actively working on a fix. While there’s no ETA yet, it’s been confirmed as something they’re aiming to resolve.
If you’re running sessions in the meantime, a temporary workaround is to avoid turning locked frames into slides during collaboration — or to duplicate the board and prep your slides beforehand if possible.
We’ll keep you posted here as soon as there’s any news. Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us surface these issues!

Hi Clare, this is a known issue with the new 'turn into slides' feature. Currently, the only workaround is limiting access to ‘can comment’, but as you mentioned, it restricts sticky note edits. Another option is to duplicate the board and use the copy for slide conversions, keeping the original locked frames intact for editing. Hopefully, the team will add a proper fix soon.
