Previously I meant Kumu (not Kuru) has both export and import capabilities, keeping the hierarchy. I will look at xmind too.

Hi all - almost there I think. If it doesn’t get pushed through this week i will investigate releasing an intall link here.

Sorry to keep you all waiting

If anyone fancies early access I can email them an install link.

Just reach out to me at:

currencyconverter.app3@gmail.com

The app has been released on the marketplace!

Thanks for your patience everyone

I need to be able to export mind maps as document outlines, translating the hierarchy of nodes to H1, H2, H3 structure, for example

You might be interested in looking at MindManager from MindJet. I have been using it for many years and have not found anything close to it. Many years ago, I implemented my GTD System (Getting Things Done, book on stress free productivity by David Allen) in MindManager.

It’s extremely paramount that this feature is developed

This too https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/mind-map-switch-to-hierarchy-ordered-unordered-list-of-items-7619

Throwing in my support for this as a feature. This should be basic as it is the only way to meaningfully share the contents with non-Miro users. On a related note - we should be able to directly copy/paste to Powerpoint, Export directly to Word as an outline, Export to MS Project. 

This is functionality that is available in other Mind Maps (e.g. Mind Manager). Not having good export capability severely limits the usefulness of the tool. It has cost me hours of retyping or reformatting into an outline format. 

I wholeheartedly agree. As it is, the “export to csv” function is practically useless.

This is absolutely critical. Competitors will not only let you export to Word, .rtf, or other useful formats, but you can even view the outline when using the tool, which is helpful when a board starts to get a little bigger. It’s been a year since this was requested. Is there an update?

Until/if Miro adds this as a standard feature, here is an alternative for exporting a mind map to CSV, including its hierarchy.

Ha Gavin,

I notices the problem with wrong characters coding (ISO-8859 probably). Could you add/change default coding to UTF-8 to be compatible with multilingual environments?

Despite this, it is a great future, nice work thanks. 

Hi. I have a similar problem - but in another context. In creating an capability map I wanted to know in my export what lives in what box.

So we created a plugin for that to. https://www.milkyway.international/milky-way-tool

Hey Miro

We have strategically sensitive information in our Miro boards, so we can’t use a third party developer app that needs access to our boards. And while I realize that this is what is needed to get the job done, we can’t trust an external party with this data unless there’s some way to verify that the developer is unable to access our data?

Can this be verified?

@Chris Parker - I have wondered this myself. Are there any mechanisms in place to ensure that 3rd party apps are not storing board data? (Or is it even possible to detect and stop them from doing so?)

Hey @Robert Johnson - unfortunately at this time we don’t have anything in place to monitor/discern this. We’re exploring plans for Security programs that will highlight such things, but for the time being the best thing to do is engage with the developer of the app directly to learn more.

In this specific case I had a quick look at the requests made by the Mindmap downloader app and I can see it does indeed send a POST of the entirety of the board’s content back to home. 

Great App!

Can the same be done in the reverse direction?

So, say we’re using a big Corporate ERP, and updating the Mind Map in Excel, and wish the Map to update in Miro, so we can then take a picture of it, for Management Meetings?

That would be an amazing feature. We tend to work in Excel a lot, because we’re working across Product Management and Finance, and Finance are more comfortable in Excel.

Cheers,

Please implement this feature to export a mind map with a structure. Xmind has it and it’s really helpful when moving a mind map into a different format. I’d prefer being able to copy the mind map into a simple indented list. It would be great to allow it to be copied into an excel sheet too.

That’s the number one feature improvement I’d like from Miro.

This feature needs to be implemented natively and allow auto export into some sort of database such as sharepoint list for example. The manual export into csv is a good step but not quite cutting it unfortunately.

Hi @william.loppe 

Thanks for jumping in and sharing your thoughts!

Your feedback is really valuable, so if you haven’t already, please consider voting for this feature and adding any specific details about how it would benefit your workflow. This helps our team prioritize and scope out the improvements that matter most to our users. Thanks again for being part of the Miro community and for your continued support!

Hi ​@Eca,

I think it should not be hard to imagine how the possibility to extract resp. export structured / hierarchical data from a Miro mind map without

1. losing the semantics (by getting only an image, not the textual info) or
2. losing the structure of the data (by getting only a flat .csv file)

would benefit many users’ workflows. But before going for the “perfect” solution, why not take a step-by-step approach to improve the feature immediately (rather: make it useful at all):

Step 1: many users would already benefit from a simple export format where at least the textual data and the hierarchical structure is represented. Just use a simple XML or JSON format - with that, users have all possibilities for further processing of the data, including conversion to a usable csv format. Implementation of that really wouldn’t be rocket science

Further steps: later, you can then take the time to evaluate how exports to Office apps etc. could look like and implement additional export formats

P.S.: 3rd-party apps are not an option for many, due to the confidentiality of the exported data.
