Would a universal board navigation panel be useful?

I have been wanting this feature for years, so I thought I would ask the Community's thoughts.

The Miro board — an infinite canvas. Powerful. But increasingly complex. The only navigation tool? The Frames panel — tucked on the right, limited to Frames only. It's been the same for as long as I can remember.

As boards grow in complexity, the question becomes bigger than Frames: what if you could navigate to any object, any location on the board?

Here's what I'm envisioning:

  • A navigation panel in the left/Spaces sidebar — clicking any item pans to that object on the board (think Alt/Option + 2 to "zoom to selection")
  • Search for and pin any object to this list
  • Create board location links (e.g., a Home or Start view)
  • Add any object to the navigation list directly from its context menu
  • New items would default to the object's name, filename, image alt text, etc. — but could be renamed
  • Reorder items freely
  • Any board participant could use this panel — including Guests and Visitors, not just team members or board owners
  • Pin the tab so the Board navigation panel is open on board load
  • Share a link that opens the navigation panel on board load
  • Create a new Slides presentation directly from the navigation list

Here are some mockups to better communicate the idea:

 

What do you think?

Appreciate you taking the time to put this together and start the discussion, ​@Robert Johnson! I’m excited to see others in the community to jump in and share their thoughts or use cases as well!
