Is it possible to have text blocks automatically aligning and moving along timeline?

Hi miro community,I’m desperately looking for a tool that can provide the following functionality, and maybe the venerated miro can help me with this, but I don’t know how:I need a timeline on which I can add text blocks (each with a heading and a (possibly considerable) body of text. So far, so good - many tools provide that.But then I need the functionality that text blocks automatically move to “make room” if I squeeze another one in between, be it a new one or because I move stuff around.A nice bonus would be a functionality to also directly switch two text blocks around. This is intended for ideation in story writing and unfortunately the tools for that purpose thoroughly lack text blocks “moving out of the way” when moving them around.FinalDraft for example offers something where you can assign time slots to text blocks, but the blocks themselves don’t move, creating chaos. Normal MIRO Stickies also don't make room, they just overlap.But is there a possibility to make miro work f

Video Chat alternative

I believe the bug that is preventing some invited guests to join the video chat is not going to be resolved. Which other video conference tool do people recommend?

Miro Intermittently Stops Allowing me to Edit

For the last couple of days I’ve been seeing this symbol at the bottom of my boards after only typing a few words. I have to exit and re-open the board to be able to type again. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to resolve it? There is no information with the warning, just a blank warning. Very frustrating. This occurs in all browsers and all versions of the apps on both android and IOS.

Link Boxes for inside Miro

Hello,Sometimes Diagrams get quite complex, especially when it comes to visualizing processes.This causes the User to create a lot of lines that get intertwined.It also makes it difficult to move parts of the diagram out of the way, because that would cause very long lines across the board.The solution for me would be to add some kind of box, that I can link up without lines.Clicking on the Box would cause Miro to move the view to Target Box.  I made quick diagram to demonstrate the idea. On the left you can see a complicated diagram. As you can see there are lines crossing other lines and there are some very long lines as well.On the right would be my idea where the blue boxes show the Linked Boxes. Now I can split the diagram into two and move the one on the top right anywhere on the board with messing with the lines. It also make the diagram much cleaner.(This is more of a wireframe kind of prototype. Of course the are cases like how the User actually links the boxes together, where

Understanding the free plan within a paid plan

I have a company account and i am part of a team ZT with the free plan, while some of my colleagues have the paid version and have the PE team where i can only see the boards that are share with me.Since ZT team is on the free plan, there can only be 3 boards and everyone sees them.But if i use another account (eg personal email) i also have the 3 boards that are private and i can share them eventually.So I am not understanding why with the company account i don’t have those 3 free personal boards that every base account have, but only 3 board shared with everyone.Shouldn't I have, say, a personal team where i can have 3 personal boards? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Retrospective Question

I’m new to Miro and using the free version. I want to use Miro for retrospectives.  Do I need to create a new board for each retro or can I just use 1 board for all of my project retros? I plan on using one of the templates.

Can you link from a table cell?

I am hoping to link a certain cell (or text within a cell) in a grid to a different place on the board.  It seems like I can only link the entire grid/table… is this correct?

Benefits of Member vs guest? in your experience

I am wondering what benefits there are of being a member vs guest that you guys personally found useful? I don’t want to hold back my team by leaning too much on guests licenses. But also if I can use guest users for most of our organization and and just have a few users create boards I am thinking why not. Why do people in your organization opt to become members after being guest users and is being a guest user usually enough?

Sharing board doesn't work after recent update. Is it only me or everyone affected?

As everyone enjoyed sharing with anonymous gues editors, this feature doesn’t work for me since this week (Since around Monday 18 May 2020). The description of the feature is here https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012524559-Collaboration-with-Anonymous-Guest-Editors and it worked as stated. But this week, after noticeable UI update (still kudos to the team!) my sharing screen has changed to this:     Does anyone else experience the same problems? Any idea what to do with that? I really need to share a board with my workshop participants :-(

Need an idea on how to automatically move an object to another location using a hyperlink

Hello, Miro community! I need an idea on how to automatically move an object to another location using a hyperlink. The reason is that I want my team to be able to move an object to an archive frame without using copy and paste. It would be very helpful if this function existed or if you have a good idea on how to this, I would love to hear it. Thank you in advance!

Moving objects from one frame to another

I have two frames, one positioned entirely inside another. I’ve realised that some of the objects that are positioned within the inner frame are actually associated with the outer frame. How do I change the frame with which these objects are associated so that all the objects positioned within the inner frame are actually associated with with the inner frame and therefore allow me to move the inner frame along with all of the objects inside it? Thanks in anticipation!

Displaying a frame in two boards

My team and I do design work for external clients. We do our daily work in a board that clients can’t access. Eventually, we wind up with finished items that we want to share with clients. Right now, we copy and paste those items into a second board shared with our clients, leaving us with two copies of stuff.Is there a way to directly embed frames from the team board into the client-facing board? If that’s not possible, does anyone have best practices to share about how to manage work-in-progress vs. client-facing content? We have a lot of scratch work, stuff we’re not ready to share with clients, comments, etc. on our team boards, so letting clients into those boards and hiding frames isn’t practical.

No access to miro account due to SSO bug

After setting on SSO and configuring it like in the docs and all other SAML apps the whole company can’t login anymore. We where about to migrate from lucidchart with 3 companies. We now try since 1 week to reach someone at miro, but don’t get any answer. We’re paying at the moment for something we don’t get and even don’t get any help. Does anyone know except via Mail, via Form on the Website and now over this forum we can reach SOMEONE from miro? The only next step I see is to contact my bank to block the bookings from miro on my creditcard and migrate to figjam. Is this a normal customer experience at miro?  PS: This account is made with my private mail because I even can’t contact the support and the helpcenter telling me “Unknown error” with all browsers with this account. Amazing :D

I am the owner of multiple boards for students on a course.  I want my team of faculty to receive notifications from Miro every time a student updates their portfolio.  Right now only I get notifications when the board is updated.  I can't find out how to do this.  Does anyone know how to help?
