The new system for bulk-rearranging objects is awful! Please restore original system!

Dear Miro team,

The new system for bulk-rearranging objects that was released with the recent update has had a massive negative impact on my workflow and productivity.

The original system (grabbing and pulling the symbol at the top-right corner of a selection) was elegant, smooth, and efficient.  All of this with a single click and drag.  It was perfect.

Now I have to…

  1. Click the icon in the top-left corner
  2. Scroll down or zoom in/out to find a pink bar at the BOTTOM of my selection
  3. If I’m zoomed out slightly, the pink bar can be too large for me to select the collapse/expand functionality, so I have to zoom in really close to make the pink bar smaller.

The new system is also buggy:

  • The rearrangement symbol doesn’t always appear after selecting a group of objects.
  • An layered stack of stickies will not un-layer when using this system -- it just shifts the stack around 

Please, please, please restore the original system! 😫🙏. This is a huge step in the wrong direction.


I also wanted to add that I’ve spent a lot of time trying to accept this change and looking for ways to use it effectively, but it has been an ongoing challenge.  I see no worthwhile improvements.  I see only drawbacks.  Am I the only one who feels this way?

Also, the option to bulk-rearrange a group of selected objects appears to be missing from the mobile app altogether?
