    Big Overhaul for locking and hiding Items - for Facilitators and trainersOpen

    Summary: Let me edit items while they are locked and let me look and work through the a hidden frame. I’love miro, but there are two huge pain points for me as facilitator who uses Miro every week with groups in online sessions.As Facilitator, I need to be ahead of things and be able to adjust everything to the process. On the other hand, I want to make sure that my clients do not a) move around my stuff b) they can’t see whats coming next. The current features for locking objects and hiding frames is ok, but far from user friendly. Locked Items: While yes, sometimes it would also be useful to lock items in a way that even I or my co-owner can’t move. The biggest issue with the current way: I usually select many items at once to lock them, but often I just need to adjust a headline or remove two placeholders but while doing so, I unlock again the hole group of locked items  - means I need to figure out again, which items to lock. Especially if I added other editable items on top, it gets a huge mess. In 99% of all cases, I’d probably be happy with just locking it down to my clients, so they don’t screw my templates. Therefore, please let me edit locked items. Either in general or let me press a key on my keyboard and ignore the lock state of any item. Another Option could be to have two layers: Everything in there is locked for everyone except the owner and co-owner. Hide Frames and Items: I love the ability to hide my frames, but the current way comes with two catches: 1. The frame's headline is visible for everyone, even so it’s locked. Which sometimes discloses information ahead of time. To my opinion, hidden frames should display their label only to owner and co-owner. 2. Even more important: Please let me edit my hidden frames without showing them to everyone else on the board. Similar to locking items, in 99% of all of my cases (at least if I’m not in presentation mode), I would want to see (and edit) the content of hidden frames - I know the content anyway.

    Improve Paste Behavior with Locked Frame GroupsOpen

    Hi Miro Community,I'd like to share a frustrating behavior I've encountered when working with locked frames in Miro, especially during client workshops.The IssueWhen I lock multiple frames at the same time, even without grouping first, (a quick and efficient way to protect workshop content), there's a problematic behavior with the paste function:If a participant accidentally clicks on the locked group of frames before pasting, Miro pastes the content onto ALL frames in that locked group This can instantly create a mess across multiple frames, disrupting carefully designed workshop boardsI've recorded a demonstration of this behavior here: https://www.loom.com/share/83cb7caf31384b84a866eda12ebee3f4?sid=593f9870-a382-4ec7-b26f-dc327b0b1c55Current Workaround (that isn't working well)The only workaround I've found is to lock each frame individually instead of locking them as a group. However, this creates significant problems:It's time-consuming to lock/unlock frames individually For ongoing programs that require regular updates, having to unlock each frame separately is extremely inefficient Unlocking everything at once isn't an option as we often need certain elements to remain protected (and then I have to lock them all individually again anyway)Requested SolutionI'd like to suggest that locked groups of frames behave differently from unlocked groups when it comes to pasting:Some possible solutions: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Paste only onto the specific frame that was clicked (not seemingly possible?), not the entire group Allow locking to behave differently (don’t make it behave as a group when I select multiple frames to lock at one time) Provide a warning before pasting to all frames in a locked group This would greatly improve the user experience for facilitators who use Miro for client workshops and need to balance protection of content with efficient board management.Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a better solution? Any input from the Miro team would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!Jake
