Expand pdf pages - change in rights?

Hey all, I just mentioned that I can not expand or flip pages in an pdf file on the board. This is strange as I am the owner of the board and using the consultant plan. Even stranger, that it worked before.I found out that only the person copying the file on the board is able to extract the pages. A doubled file does lose this ability. Is this a course of changes in rights? Can I change this? Greetings from germanyJan

Password Protection for Frames?

Can a Frame or section of a grid be password protected so changes can only be made by someone who holds the password?  I use Miro for online photography critiques and it has been a bit of a problem as students have inadvertently altered other students work.  It seems that the locking function is not adequate.  If no, is there another way to password protect parts of a board?  Thank you!

Sticky Note (or similar) with the same content

I am using MIRO to define requirements. I write the requirement on stickies. Some requirements will be used in multiple places on the board. If I change a requirement then I would like for the other stickies with the same requirement to update automatically. Is that possible?

Any way to create a new Google Sheets row when creating a Miro card?

I’m seeing integrations between Miro and Google Sheets (and Airtable) going one way: Create a row or make a change in Sheets and it triggers an action in Miro, but I’d like to do the opposite. When I make a new card in Miro, I want it to trigger a new row in Google Sheets. Possible?

How much Data can a Miro Board handle?

Dear all, I am trying to figure out how much data a Miro Board can handle? We are organizing a virtual event for a client with 250-300 participants which includes creating a virtual group picture out of uploaded selfies on a Miro-Board.Therefore we would like to ensure a smooth functionality and are wondering if we have to identify a data limit for the pictures themselves.Can anyone help?  Cheers from Germany,Lina

Can I select-all (or maybe just lock-all)

Hi there! I find myself zooming out (carefully trying not move things around while doing it), selecting all the items in a board and then locking them very often. It’d be nice to have a shortcut for this action. If not I guess I’ll try to develop a web-plugin that does it (it shouldn’t be very hard).   Thanks, Alan

User Story Map: How to add stakeholders/personas?

I’m test-driving Miro to keep my project team aligned on the scope and release planning. The user story mapping looks great for that purpose.However I’d like to add stakeholders/personas to the map. Some of these activities are requested by all stakeholder groups, some are exclusive to singular stakeholders. I remember that in Storiesonboard you had personas as icons above the activities.Is there anything similar in Miro or would I have to draw something up?BestMichael

Cannot change user access from VIEW to EDIT

I cannot give EDIT access to some of my users. I sent each an invite to EDIT. But when their names appear in the SHARING list, some are EDIT and some are VIEW. I change the VIEW to EDIT, and it changes back to VIEW. Any ideas anyone?Thanks,Kevan

Follow your own iPad from your laptop

I’m using Miro in Remote Workshops in my browser and share my screen via Zoom to participants. Now, for some parts of the workshop I have the Miro app on my iPad to make drawings. And as my laptop screen with MIro open is shared, I would like to be able to follow my actions on the iPad within Miro with the attention management feature.BUT: As I’m logged in with the same user on my laptop and iPad, I’m not able to follow myself. Is there a work-around for this?

Notification management on boards

Hello, I have created a board and added members to the board.

How do I do a new line using pen in Miro on iPad?

I like using my pen in Miro on my iPad so I can write text freehand and have it covert to printed text to ensure readability.  What I haven’t been able to figure out is how to go to a new line while writing with the pen.  Right now, I have to pull up the keyboard and hit return to do that.  Is there a way to make the pen do that for me?

Improve Performance

Hi Miro Community My customer is complaining about board speed. The workshop is finished and now individuals are dipping into the board and discussing via sticky notes.In the ‘Tips to improve board performance’ refers to ‘Heavy Documents’ … What is that? I’ve uploaded, and unpacked 10 PowerPoint presentations, used photographs, shapes and stickies and 10 frames. Would it be better if I used jpgs of the PowerPoint Slides instead of the original ppt? Looking forward to hearing your wisdom. Tom

Running first Ice Breaker Session!

Hi - I’m running my first Miro ice-breaker with my leadership team of 32 people. My thought is to use our usual meeting platform, Zoom, and then share my Miro screen while asking everyone ahead of time to be logged in their Miro account. Then those who haven’t created their Miro account yet can see the others participating and will see how they too can use Miro for their teams. I don’t quite get yet how to ouse the Miro video/chat with over 30 people (of which so far about 20 have created their Miro accounts) since I would have to go to Zoom eventually to continue with our regular meeting. In your opinion, will my Zoom + Miro plan work? With thanks in advance for your input!

Funnel through Mail-adresses (SSO?) to not have guest-users

Dear Miro Community:) I am running a community on a SaaS called Hivebrite.Users have to register with their Mailadress.Via iframe I have integrated a big Miro board for everyone to work with. Thanks to the latest update users finally are able to directly edit the board within the iframe.Right now every User who edits the Board is running as a guest-user within Miro.Now... what would be GREAT:Is there a possibility to use the login-mail of my platform to automatically create a Miro-user?So when they comment within the board each author has its own identifier and not just “guest” (as it is right now)?BestMichael

Can you use the Sketch plugin as a Guest Editor?

Hi everyone, I’ve installed the Sketch plugin for Miro, but can’t find the board I need in the list of options. Is this because I’m a Guest Editor on the board, not ‘Team’? Is it possible to use the Sketch plugin as a Guest Editor? And if not, are there any work arounds? Thank you!

Sharing settings → Permissions tab

I unexpectedly came across a Permissions tab/set of options in a board’s Share → Sharing settings back on September 30th while I was answering some a question on the forum. It caught my attention at the time as I didn’t recall ever seeing this option. I was focused on something else at the time so I grabbed a few screenshots and moved on.Now, when I decide to go back and dig into it further, I cannot find the options again! Mind you, I didn’t capture the exact conditions leading up to the option appearing, but here’s what I know:The board belonged to my spouse’s Education Plan (the setting may have been present in my Consultant Plan, however, I am the only member, so I can’t add an editor at the board-level without incurring a charge). My spouse was the board owner. The board’s Share settings: Team access & Anyone with the link were both set to → No access. Board-level sharing was to me as View only. The board was not in any projects.So what option am I talking about anyway?!My s

Has anyone figured out a way to get date notifications?

I did a quick search and did not find anything in the community about this…Does the calendar function with cards have any kind of notification built in? For example, if I set a future date on a card, will it alert me when that date arrives? My suspicion is that the answer, at least for now, is no… If it does not work that way, has anyone figured out a way to get date alerts in Miro, maybe via some third-party app integration?Thanks!

Consultant Plan - team limit

Hi Miro-ers,I’m on a consultant plan and seem to have hit my limit in the number of teams I can create when trying to create a 10th team. Given we work with lots of different clients, and we generally create a Team for each to avoid privacy conflicts, this is a bit of a problem. Has anyone else encountered this arbitrary limit? I’m being asked for payment details as soon as I try to create a 10th team, even though we’re on a 15 seat/month consultant plan.Here’s a screen grab:Any ideas?

Can you link grids so they dynamically update?

Is there anyway to make rows on two grids linked so that they dynamically update stickies and text from a different grids in a board?Our team is working on a strategic board that has a grid where each row is a different business vertical and columns are time. We also have sub-grids for each vertical that have the same time interval columns, but with different rows (main grid=KPI’s, sub-grids=resources needed to get there). For example, B2B is a row in the main grid, and we have a B2B sub-grid. Within the B2B sub-grid we want a row that pulls directly from the main grid and includes the high-level KPI’s over time (a simple =Xcell in Excel). Is it possible to do this in Miro? Thanks
