Hi all,

What I would find very useful is the option to set the start view to the last location one visted on a board. This would of course be different for every user. 

When we use boards, it is often about qialitative data collection (on sticky notes) and the analysis of said data. It would be very useful to jump into the board where you took of last.

@Sarah Gelb-Wiegand -

Isn’t this what is happening for your users right now? Whenever I leave a Miro board and return to it later it will start me off at the location in the board where I’d last been.

No, that’s unfortunately not what happens. Ii do not know, how the start vie is defined (there is none set by us in the options), but it is definitely not my last view.

@Sarah Gelb-Wiegand -

Are your users using “named” accounts for accessing the boards or are they using Visitor access? With the former it should definitely be remembering their last accessed location. Also, how are they accessing Miro - is it using the desktop app or a browser?

As Kiron stated, the current behaviour for all signed in users is that they are taken back to the same spot they were on the last time they accessed a board. This has always been the experience for me.

NOTE: The location is stored in a cookie, so if cookies are deleted (or not even allowed for miro.com), the last location will not be known. Instead, if a Start View was set, that location will be used as the default view when entering a board. An indication that cookies are not stored is that you always end up seeing the board Grid lines every time you open a Miro board, even if you have disabled them, e.g., by pressing the G hotkey.
