Link logos suddenly disappeared on all boards

anyone?

​@Misho N The change you’re seeing is intentional. I’m a volunteer moderator, not a Mironeer, but I know this from early testing. Miro made some objects fully clickable when linked to other objects or external sites, in response to a wish list post (which happens to be my idea from six years ago):

The first version made every linked object clickable on hover, including sticky notes, docs, and tables. That created too much friction when people wanted to click and start typing, so for now it’s limited to basic shapes.

My guess at the reasoning: shapes like arrows and rectangles are often used as navigation entry points, and they usually say so (“click here,” “open”), so the corner icon became redundant. As you’ve noticed, clicking the canvas now highlights all linked objects as feedback.

That said, I wonder whether the icon still makes sense for external links, since it signals that the link leaves the board. For internal navigation, I get that it could be visual clutter. I can see both sides.

How would you feel about hiding the icon for internal links but keeping it for external ones?

I’d suggest leaving feedback here and on the wish list post. The product team monitors the community forum.

Workaround: If you want the top-right icon back, use the switch type action to change the shape to a sticky note (or another object type). The tradeoff is that users will need to click the small icon rather than anywhere on the object.

Here’s a demo:
