Import sticky notes from Spreadsheet doesn't work

According to the docs it should be able to copy and paste multiple cells from a spreadsheet into a Miro board as sticky notes.
While this works fine on Windows it doesn’t work on Mac for me. It always just creates one big textblock with all cells combined.

Anyone one Mac here who experiences the same?

Tested on latest Chrome & Firefox on OSX.

Thx @Marina, I managed to do it based on your video. I think that the root cause for this confusion is that the expanation is under the bulk mode text area, I was pasting the cells content there. Maybe you can change this flow so that’s not so confusing, thx

I had the same issue - of getting confused by the “bulk mode” note inside the stickies menu. As of this week, it was still confusing - at least for this Mac User.

Luckily I’ve been working with @Jonathan White to bring a product that is currently combined f2f and online completely into Miro - I think I learn from him half a dozen super useful “power user” tips like this every time we meet!

It’s awesome to see your reactions in these A-HA moments @Tristan Forrester!

This is another great example of the community coming together to identify an issue, get some suggestions and support from each other, and then Miro getting involved to address this issue for good.

Nicely done team!

I am on PC (Firefox) and I was trying to paste the spreadsheet data cells (rows) from the clipboard into the bulk add sticky note section too.

I realized after reading the comments above, and thinking a little more :), that it says to paste onto the board (the frame you are working on or art board area). Confused by same note on screenshots above.

So copy from spreadsheet, then open Miro and just use ctrl-v or cmd-v and you will be prompted with paste options - select sticky notes option. I thought I was experiencing a bug too but just doing it wrong.

Hi @Lisa Chen @Agustin Varela,

Sorry to hear that 

There were no more reports about this issue to the Support team. Just to confirm, do you mean that you paste spreadsheet cells right on the board as shown in the gif here?

Please note, that the maximum number of cells that you can paste at a time is 625; the maximum number of characters is 6000.

If you still have a problem, could you please also record a short gif and send it directly to the Support team via the form?

Thank you!

I’m glad i found this thread, i was doing it the same way as it seems many people where i was using the “bulk mode” modal, which isn’t really a bulk mode modal….

I’ve encountered the same problem. Sad. 

I am having the same problem! Any suggestions?

I have used this feature many times but it is not working today. Is there a new bug?

If importing sticky notes from a spreadsheet into Miro isn't working:

Ensure your spreadsheet is in a compatible format (CSV or XLSX).
Check formatting and content.
Review import settings.
Try with a smaller dataset.
Use an up-to-date browser and Miro version.
Clear browser cache if needed.
Contact Miro support if the issue persists.

hi, I’m having the same on problem on WS + Chrome !!! Any update? thx

@Kerrin / @JonoB - Can you provide some details on your specific conditions?

E.g., OS and version (Windows, Mac, etc.), device (laptop, tablet, etc.), application your using to access Miro (browser, desktop app, etc.), which spreadsheet application you are pasting from (Google Sheets, Excel, Excel online/OneDrive, whatever Apple's spreadsheet application is called, etc.).
