Whether anyone had struggles while clearing text inside elements (e.g. sticky notes), with the upfront fear that there are more than 10-15-20-25 elements waiting in the line requiring the same process to repeat again and again?

 

To delete text from the element:

  1. Double-click element text
  2. Double-click element text
  3. Remove text
  4. Next element

or maybe for better oriented people:

  1. Double-click element
  2. ctrl+A
  3. Remove text
  4. Next element

 

What if ONLY text could be deleted from multiple selection of elements? Why not just select multiple elements, and select option to clear text only? Maybe even some shortcut to that? This could help people to reduce “continuous mechanical work” by repeating the same process dozens of time.

The only alternative to overcome “Delete & retype” is to use template (save, load), but again, nobody wants to create that so many templates just because they want to clear the text from multiple selection of elements.


I checked every Miro shortcuts & hotkeys, and there's no way to do it.

Not really sure if anyone saw the problem in this, but I'm sure many of you would like the shortcut.
Looking forward to discuss about this!

Hi everyone!

 

This Idea has been delivered!

 

  • Allow clearing content on sticky notes, shapes, and cards from the context menu OR via a new shortcut (cmnd+delete)
  • Clear content removes text, reactions, labels, statuses, etc. BUT retains the styling of an element (colors, sizes, etc.)
  • Please visit this Helpful article for a step-by-step process: Clearing Content
