As a Miro user, I want to be able to easily copy the link to a board, regardless of my permissions level / team status for the board, so I can share it with my colleagues -- and if some colleagues who I share it with don’t have permission to view the board, then that can be handled at the point at which they try to view it (rather than the “Share” button being hidden on my end).

 

Additional context:

  • If I do not have editor permissions and/or am not a member of the team in which a board is located, I do not see a “Share” button in the top right corner of the board.
  • If I’m viewing the board in the browser version of Miro, I can simply copy the URL to the board directly from the address bar -- but if I’m in the desktop app, there is not an intuitive way to copy the link. After reaching out to customer support, they told me I can go to “File → Copy board link” but this is not intuitive, as I was looking for the “Share” button that is present in other boards.
  • If there are hack-y / unintuitive ways for me to copy the board link regardless of my permissions, then why not just show the “Share” button and provide a message about my limited permissions within the Share modal?
  • Often times, I find that the people who I want to share the link with are indeed able to see the board once I share it with them. So if the people who I’m trying to share the board link with are able to view it with no issues, then why is Miro limiting my ability to find and share the link?
Was it helpful?

@Amanda Chang - This is likely due to the Share modal being tied to permissions, so rather that rewriting the code to change the way the Share modal works/looks, e.g., only display a “copy board link” button, they opted for adding the Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L shortcut in the desktop app (you can use that shortcut while on any board in the desktop app to copy the current board link to your clipboard).
