When I copy rows of text from a document (not from a table), and paste this into Miro, I would like to have the option to convert each row of text into a sticky note. Eg I have five sentences, with or without a bullet, and want each of them to be a sticky note, without having to copy paste each sentence manually onto a sticky note. Right now I see this feature is available when copying rows of text from a table, but not from just a regular doc (eg word). Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Agree, as a workaround i paste bullet lists into Excel first which turns them into rows

This is such an easy thing to implement I really don’t understand why it doesn’t work like this.

Moreover cut & paste from google spreadsheets doesn’t do this.

Requiring desktop excel application for this feels super closed and lacking compassion.

2. Bulk import multiple sticky notes using Google Sheet or Excel

I had this same problem and created https://converttosticky.com/. Its a free tool that lets you paste multiple lines of text, click to the convert button and paste into Miro as individual stickies. It was a fun project to make and saves me a ton of time in Miro.

Here’s the main use case: Making it painful to add things into a board doesn’t make sense. The harder it is to add anything to a board is a barrier to use your competition does not and will not have.

Here’s another huge reason: Many people are using GenAI tools to create a bunch of raw material that they then refine, affinity map, distill etc - that’s a terrible experience if you have to use another tool.

Just adding things isn’t even enough. Even when jumping through hoops to add, what gets pasted in doesn’t follow any of the original structure whatsoever (even a vertical line matching rows from excel would be better than what gets pasted in. Miro does a bizarre transposition across multiple rows breaking at 15 stickies, and lacking a transposition feature makes this even more painful.

This is just inexplicable behavior for this tool. It’s even more embarrassing to have mediocre/useless GenAI features added before this basic functionality.
