Stop opening Spaces sidebar when opening a board

@Johnnie Lindholt - This is currently the default behavior. I heard from a Miro PM that they will likely shut this off, i.e., close the sidebar when you open a board, but were giving it some time to get people used to the new feature being there.

However, I am right there with you and would rather have the board real estate and close the sidebar every time I open a board.

I moved your post to the Wish List category for upvoting, and tweaked the title of the post.

Tip: If you open the board as a new tab, e.g., Ctrl/Cmd + T or mouse wheel middle click, the sidebar does not open. And if you use the Miro desktop app, the same thing - no sidebar. One downside of opening as a new tab if you have the desktop app installed is that you’ll get the “do you want to launch the desktop app” popup.

Thank you for a quick response :)

Hi ​@Johnnie Lindholt,

Thank you for raising this concern! We understand how important it is to have an efficient and uninterrupted workflow while using Miro.

The team actively reviews this forum for input in prioritizing updates and features, and this post is currently open for upvotes and comments. In the meantime, as Robert mentioned, opening boards in a new tab (Ctrl/Cmd + T or middle mouse click) or using the desktop app prevents the sidebar from appearing.

If you’d like to stay updated, keep an eye on this thread and the Miro Changelog for announcements about updates.

Thanks again for your feedback, and don’t hesitate to share any other suggestions!

​@Johnnie Lindholt - It looks like Miro made this behaviour change today as the sidebar no longer stays open for me on board load (unless it is a bug!🐞).

Are you noticing this change too? If intentional, it may not have been rolled out to all yet, or may need a cache clearing or signing out and back in.

Looks like it has been fixed :D

My life just got a little bit easier. 

Thank you Miro team ;)
