is there a way to use the old thumbnail format when pasting a board link?

our studio uses a board that links to multiple other boards and it’s so much harder to get an overview of where things are if it either displays the board immediately or when they just have the miro icon. with the old style of thumbnails it was so much easier to get a visual overview of what boards there are.

 

with the new ones though it’s much harder since the thumbnail only shows the miro icon and you’d have to resort reading the small text to get what the board consists of. it’s also much more easier to get lost in the new board link as well since viewing the board goes full screen (instead of 2nd pic) and quite confusing that you need to press the “go to canvas” button to get back to the original instead of just going out of the board by clicking outside of it.

 

i feel like the full-screen board is a bit of an unnecessary feature since if you are opening a new board to be in it and work on it you’d want to just open a new tab for it

 

i apologize if i come off as ranting. i just like how well the old thumbnails work since one can get a good overview of things without much hassle

Hi ​@Philip Bretschneider thanks for reaching out!

At the moment, what you see in the Miro dashboard is the only format available for board link previews in the product. There isn’t a way to switch back to the previous thumbnail style.

That said, I’m converting your case into a support ticket so the team can double-check whether there’s any stored thumbnail format available or any workarounds they can provide. They’ll follow up with you directly.
