What is the best practice to handle large text in Miro?

Hey There,I ran into an issue adding long text and style it in Miro, currently I’m using sticky notes, and text elements and shapes to do so. but is there a better way to do it like rich text with ability to style text and change font/color.Currently it looks ugly to add long text using text element because for some reason the element does not fit the text when it’s too long and when I’m in view mode the text overflows the element and looks like this And when ​​​​​​ in edit mode it trims the text like this Any idea how to do this better or the right way?Thanks

AWS Group incorrect behavior - is always above other items

Hi,This is rather a bug report, not a question.I’m a pretty experienced miro user (like 5 years of every-week, professional use).Recently I started drawing AWS diagrams, using AWS templates. I noticed that “AWS Group” object behaves incorrectly. E.g. totally different from a frame or standard rectangle.Bring back doesn’t work, neither by a shortcut nor by context menu. Its edges are above normal connection lines. If I however, bring such a covered line into front, then it’s correct, but apparently after continuing the work, the AWS group gets back to front by itself. Cannot click some objects that are inside the group. E.g., I have a small circle from standard shapes inside the group, but It’s hard to click it (select / gaining focus, you name it). Like all the time, it’s the group that gets the selection (focus), not the item. The same applies to some connecting lines. I cannot tell what makes some items clickable and some not.Something is incorrect there, and it’s frustrating, it bur

[RESOLVED] Text input bug

Greetings, Miro Team!I located the text box resizing bug. The page will continuously crush if you don't fill it with any symbols and then resize. I verify it using both my PC version and my Android app. In both situations, that has occurred.However, if there is a symbol in the text field, all is well and there is no mistake.

Issue with indented bullets in text box

Anyone else having issues with text box with several indented bullets being automatically formatted with new lines causing the bullets to be spaced out? When I click into the text box it will “fix” itself until I click out of the text box. This seems to be a recent issue for me. Unsure yet if its a new “bug” or something else.

Preview excel file visually and on click of anywhere of that it should take to original file.

In miro board, I want to embed excel in a way that the snapshop preview is visible in board and on click of anywhere of that snapshot it should take to the original location of the excel file. The excel file is saved in sharepoint of my company.  I kind of tried it once with one test file and it looks something as attached. But now i cant remember what I did in first place to get it. On click of object this toolbar appears but I dont know what I did in first place. I can see nice preview of excel file.   After retrying multiple options like embed url, or url the link is enabled on right corner (which is what I dont want). I want to click anywhere on the excel preview and then it should take to original file.

Anyone using Miro & Jira together found how to generate team metrics?

Just wondering if anyone has found any nice workarounds for this, as we’re hoping we’re not the only once who have tried this!Background: We’ve been using a hybrid setup for our software development teams for a few years: Miro for visualising our kanban boards and status of work items, and Jira to hold the details for each user story/task as it’s developed. We use the Jira Cards feature to create Jira cards from Miro. This gives us the benefits of Miro’s flexibility and Jira’s integration with developer tools. We’re using simple Miro tables to design our boards rather than the specific Kanban or Planner tools right now because it’s given us the most flexibility when desigining boards.Problem: Data! We have no way of automatically collecting data for metrics because the Miro board tells us the status of a card from its position in the table/board, not the Jira status field, so Miro is effectively just a picture on a screen and not data-driven. That means we’re blind to when work started

Zapier Question - Automate Board Creation and assignment?

Hi all - I’ve got a templated board that I’m using for my “digital workbook” for a course I’m about to launch.  When students enrol through Kajabi, they’ll be given access to the course etc, and zapier will do a bunch of automations.  Was wondering whether anyone knows if I can have a new board created automatically for the student (would be a blank board with a template assigned) using zapier or any other third party workflow automation tool?

not admin but need to export board and exclude admin

Can someone please help? A colleague set up a board as admin. They have since done no work on it but I have. He has now left the company but is obviously still listed as the admin on the board. Is it possible to export the board and set myself as admin? I need to remove him from the team. I do not want to see my hard work go to waste but at the same time do not want him to delete it, which I suspect he might. Thank you.

Are we Kanban-ing WRONG?

Provocative Question: Are we Kanban-ing Wrong? Sitting down to clean-up and sprint-prep our work planning board with a client recently I began to scratch an itch that had been bothering me…  Tasks in GANTTs/PERTS etc flow one way with respect to time and task and Kanban conventionally flows the opposite way.  GANTT:  Right to Left task flowGANTT, PERT and other such time planning visualization systems (In western convention, as far as I know, any way…)  layout time as: left is earlier and right is more future. To read these over time a ‘now’ window slides across the time line from left to right. The “to do” items start off to the right of the time window, the ‘done’ items end up on the left of the window and the ‘doing’ live in the middle of the window.  The flow of tasks with respect to this time window is from right to left. Kanban: Left to Right task flowConventionally a Kanban works in the opposite direction; where tasks flow from left to right.  _______________Our progress in a bo

Transitioning from free plan to starter plan and loss of boards

I am currently a member within a team in the free Miro plan. I will need to create more than 3 boards which exceeds the amount allowed in the free plan so will upgrade to the starter plan with a single membership.  I plan to use the same email in the upgraded plan.The starter plan has additional steps that must be taken to reduce the number of members from the minimum 3 to 1. I am not the team admin so cannot delete the other members.What steps can be taken to purchase a single membership AND not lose my previously created boards?

[RESOLVED] CSV issue, no more date or owner

Hello Miro community, I have an issue since beginning of the week, I use to export data from my Kanban card into CSV file. It work pretty well but now when I’m doing the extract it does not contain the date and owner of the card. Card owner info has been replaced by a huge sequence of number not convertible to text. And the date information has just completely disapeared. Is it coming from a recent update ? does anybody have the same problem ? Thank you for your help.

Bug :: Can't change text of a shape - Double click moves shape instead.

Description: When I double click a shape to edit the text it moves another shape instead. This bug makes Miro almost unusable.Browser - MS EdgeScenario:Three basic rectangle shapes overlap each other all having text content. - Img 1Img 1When double clicking the smallest rectangle is moves another rectangle instead. - Img 2Img 2This continues until all somehow “linked” shapes are moved before the text of that shape can be edited. Workaround: It works to edit the text or the shape itself when doing the following:Select the shape Scroll one iteration with the mouse wheel. Direction does not matter - Now the shape can be edited.

Rearranging frames on a board

Hello!This forum has been super helpful in the past so I’m asking for help with another query!I was wondering this there is a way 1. to duplicate frames on a board so they appear next to the frame that has been duplicated instead of being added to the end of the frames and 2. if there’s a way I can rearrange the actual order of the frames instead of just reorganising the order in the sidebar?An activity we run during virtual sessions requires us to work on frames next to each other and I can’t see a simple way of addressing the questions I’ve raised.Any help would be much appreciated!ThanksCourtney
