  • Copy/edit objects by reference / instance

 

Is it possible to create an instance of another element or a group, where if you edit one of them, the other will change as well ?

 

For example if you’re creating a website UI flow board, you want to have a header on each page (frame), where each menu item is linked to a particular Frame and if you want to change that header on one of them, you’d want them all to change, not having to manually make that same change for all of them

 

Thank you.

I would love to have this as a feature so that when a card reaches a certain status on one board, it could automatically copy/populate on another board to start a secondary process.

Please do it, without this, cards are just fancy shapes/notes.

This would be so helpful! We are creating a strategy, roadmap and person-responsibility chart. All of these are basically different views on the same set of “activities” - there fore we would like to create shapes with these “activities” and clone them so one activity is in all - strategy, roadmap and person-responsibility chart. If one is edited, all clones would change. It is a pity that this is not possible in Miro, we are considering using a different tool because of this.

wow 4 years and still no movement. invaluable functionality for miro. may be the thing that gets us to move to figjam

Still really in need of this.. 

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for your continued feedback and support on this feature request. We understand how valuable the ability to copy/edit objects by reference or instance would be for your workflows.

 

We appreciate your patience as we keep this on our radar. Rest assured, we'll stay updated on any new developments and will share updates as soon as we have more information.

 

Thanks again for contributing to the discussion!

+1 on this, would be super useful

Adding another vote for the object reference feature.  Adding object reference support to Miro would greatly enhance productivity. In planning sessions, certain objects/cards repeat across different views, like feature planning options, strategies, roadmaps. The ability to clone an object and have edits sync across all instances is essential. I've tried creating links to master cards, but it’s difficult to manage, slows down working sessions, and leads to inconsistencies. Please release this feature soon to streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
