Hi, how can I lock a structure but not the content? For example I have a frame with Tables and other documents and sticky notes in it. I would now like to lock this stucture but not the content on the Table, so that guests can´t move around what I built up, but that they are still able to write in the cells of the Table? I know how to lock things, but then guests are also not able to fill out the cells even though they have the right to edit the board.

@TBS - Sadly, when Miro changed Grids to Table, they also changed the functionality, so that users could no longer type in the cells of a locked Grid/Table - some users wanted Grids to completely lock down and now other want to still be able to have participants to be able to type into locked cells - who will eventually win the battle is anyone’s guess. You can read the debates  (and leave your feedback) here: https://community.miro.com/changelog-feedback-31/grids-are-now-tables-and-you-can-finally-merge-cells-4132

You can also share your thoughts on this with Miro directly from a Table:

 

Requesting More Locking Options

There are a number of Wish List posts where other users want to see more locking customization, some of which match what you are looking for. I suggest that you leave your comments/upvote any that are of interest to you:

https://community.miro.com/search?q=locking&content_type%5B0%5D=ideation

However, if you fee that idea doesn’t truly reflect what you are looking to accomplish, I’d recommend adding this as an Idea in the Wish List category by following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know.

If you do create a Wish List Idea post, I would also recommend that you post a link to it back here, so that future readers of this post can quickly get to and vote for your Idea.

Lastly, don't forget to vote for your own Idea.

Thank you @Robert Johnson  for your quick reply! I did all you mentioned above unless create a new wish, as the wish is already on the list… “locking everything but writing” https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/locking-everything-but-writing-3820
