Maybe this has been written better elsewhere, but it’d be great to be able to create linked or copied objects from a ‘parent’ object. So, for example, say you were creating a roadmap in Miro (standard) and wanted to be able to have a list of all your initiatives somewhere easy to manipulate, but you also wanted to be able to show those initiatives on a roadmap format/linear. You could make a copy of an initiatives (think sticky/shape/group) and put it on your roadmap diagram. But if you decide you want to change the title or details in it - you just change the parent and it changes both.

Does this exist as an idea already?

Hi @JayMo 

Thanks for your suggestion!

 

Is my understanding correct that you're looking for a way to create linked or synced copies of an object, where updating the “parent” object would automatically update all the linked copies? While Miro doesn’t currently have a built-in feature for this specific function, you can manually add a link between objects using the “Add/edit link” option. However, this wouldn’t sync content between the linked objects.

 

If you're referring to another functionality or looking for something more specific, feel free to clarify! In the meantime, I’ll check if this idea has been brought up before and pass it along to our team.

 

For those coming across this idea, if you feel this would be helpful for you or your business, please be sure to vote for it and leave a comment about your use case to help our team scope this request!

 

Also, if you’re interested in learning more about some of Miro’s biggest product updates that may be relevant to your use case, save your spot here at our Canvas ‘24 event happening October 8th. Please let me know if you have any additional questions – happy to help!

Hi @JayMo,

Thanks for confirming! 😊 I understand the need for synced content across multiple objects—that would be a powerful feature. While it’s not available at the moment, I will pass along your suggestion to the team. The more feedback we gather from users like you, the better we can prioritize new features that really meet your needs!
