Dear reader, 

If anyone can assist, it would be of great help. I'm unable to move any object, line, sticky notes or frames. Even the lock/unlock button doesn't work. I can only browse and click things. None of the commands work at all. Did anyone experience this before? Is there a solution?

Hi ​@twaha mohamedhoesein, thanks for reaching out — happy to help!

 

That behavior sounds unusual. To better understand what’s happening, could you please share:

  • A short video or screenshots showing what you're experiencing

  • The steps you've taken so far (e.g., tried on another browser, checked your permissions, etc.)

  • Whether this happens on all boards or just one

 

In the meantime, here are a few quick things you can try:

  1. Refresh the board or log out and back into Miro

  2. Try a different browser or device

  3. Check if the board is in View-only mode or if content is locked by another user

  4. Make sure browser extensions (like ad blockers) aren't interfering

Hi Eca, 
 

Thank you for the reply and help. Here's a short video of what i'm subtly experiencing: https://share.icloud.com/photos/016skDW5P5h08eKBL1LhqpX8Q. 

I'm the only board owner and user of the specific board (it only happens in one board). I'm working in Chrome and tried it on MS Edge but nothing changes. 
I checked the browser extension too, nothing seems to interfere. 
Where can I see if it is in view-mode? ( While I think I have permission to edit). 

 

 Looking forward to your reply, 

Twaha

For anyone who might ever experience this issue, it is now resolved thanks to a natural language model by duplicating the affected board :). While it isn't a bug quick-fix, it does allow you to move objects again.
