Auto-arrange stickies in frames

Please add the option to automatically align stickies inside a frame into a tidy grid.  Currently it is possible to select a large number of stickies and add them to a “cluster,” which will put them in a neat grid.  However this is a one-time action, and you can’t add more stickies to the cluster or pull stickies out of the cluster and have the cluster automatically rearrange to maintain the nice grid.  

This is one of very few things that I sorely miss after transitioning from Mural.  A huge amount of the work I do involves creating groups of stickies and rearranging them (think Kanban boards, affinity maps, etc.).  Having a way to keep those groups contained and aligned is extremely helpful, and a missing feature in Miro.

Was it helpful?

Aha! Yes that’s what I’m after.  Any idea why they got rid of it?  Or plans to re-enable anything similar??

@PCB - Unfortunately, I have no insights into why or if it will return. My gut reaction is that they determined it was not being used by enough people and therefore the effort to maintain it during further frame development was not worth it - again, speculation.


You can use the “+ Create a cluster” feature to turn notes into a neat grid, though it’s slightly different to the old Grid mode:

Yes, I’m aware of this but it does not give me what I need - I need stickies to stay in the grid as I add or rearrange them so that I can change the order or move things from one cluster to another and keep things in the grid.
