    Column Headings for Process FlowsOpen

    🧩 Feature Request: Column Headings for Process FlowsMany process mapping tools like Visio, yEd, and Bizagi allow you to add column headings or swimlane labels above your process flows — and this feature would be a powerful addition to Miro.💡 What It SolvesWhen designing complex workflows or multi-department processes, we often use vertical swimlanes or columns to represent functions, systems, or stages. Currently, there’s no native way to label these columns clearly at the top, which forces users to add text boxes manually — an error-prone and inconsistent workaround.🚀 Why It Matters It improves readability and professionalism of process maps. Makes it easier for teams to align responsibilities across functions or systems. Saves time spent on manual alignment of headers when resizing or reorganizing flows. Enables Miro to match capabilities already standard in Visio, yEd, and Bizagi, making it more competitive for process design work. ✅ Suggested Implementation Allow users to add editable column headers at the top of frames or swimlanes. Headers should move and resize dynamically with the columns. Optionally, support color coding and text formatting for clarity. This small but meaningful improvement would make Miro significantly more useful for process analysts, product teams, and operations designers who rely on structured process visualization every day.
