Our team has relied heavily on Miro’s timeline widget to support asynchronous collaboration between contributors. Until recently, guest users were able to add to and edit timelines—functionality that aligned with Miro’s own promise that guests can “create and change content” on shared boards.
That ability has now been removed without warning or visible documentation. This change has broken our workflow, especially within Microsoft Teams where the timeline widget now enters a permanent loading state for all users, regardless of subscription.
This isn’t a request for new functionality—it’s a plea to restore capabilities that were already in place and critical to many teams. Moving this behind a paywall not only limits collaboration but also damages the trust users place in the platform’s flexibility and transparency.
We respectfully ask Miro to:
-
Reinstate timeline editing access for guest contributors
-
Communicate changes clearly and proactively
-
Avoid removing features that users have integrated into their processes
Changes like this discourage platform loyalty and force teams like ours to start evaluating alternatives. Please reconsider this approach for the sake of collaborative integrity.
