    Highlight connecting lines when hovering the cursor to show how objects are relatedOpen

    THE ABSTRACT:Where connecting lines and arrows have been used to join stickies and shapes, it would be awesome to be able to hover over a particular object with the cursor and be able to see which other objects are directly connected to it, cutting out unnecessary noise. THE PROBLEM:We’ve created a really complex user journey out of stickies with connecting arrows to show all of the ways the different stages can connect, depinding on the actions a user takes. There are TONS of connecting arrows and it’s making it really hard to see what’s what.The flow through the journey and the different paths you can take is a key part of the story we need to tell on this project What we ideally need is a way to click on an individual sticky and have just the connecting lines that relate to it stand out so they’re more visible within the mess. We’d like to use this for a stakeholder playback session but it’s too hard to navigate at the moment. In terms of this particular project this is actually a critical feature for us as we’re either going to have to re-think how we play this back or spend time replicating our work in another programme to get the clarity we need for our playback.Our messy, interconnected user journey THE POTENTIAL SOLUTION:Clarity could be achieved either through highlighting the connections between selected objects or by making unrelated ubject fade into the background. I’m thinking of something similar to the way that Kumu helps you highlight individual connections in complex maps

    Summarise board invitations in a single notification email, rather than spamming users with an email per boardOpen

    We run events for external users and, as part of that, provide access to a number of Miro boards. For longer events, this could be 50+ boards because we break groups into smaller teams (with a board copy per team).Currently, we grant access to these boards at board level (rather than project or team level) because doing so at project or team level allows anyone with access to see a list of names and email addresses of other users, potentially breaking GDPR rules (https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/hide-email-addresses-other-members-for-some-team-members-3222).However, when shared at board level, Miro sends a notification email for every single board shared and we regularly receive complaints from our users that they have been “spammed by Miro”.  This is not good for our reputation, or Miro’s reputation.Some users are also confused into believing that they need to “accept” every invitation, which is not the case. In an ideal world, Miro would delay sending a board share notification for (say) ten minutes.  If another board is shared in that time, by the same user, that would get added to the notification email and the ten minute timer would reset.  This would continue until ten minutes has elapsed without another board being shared, at which point an email would be sent saying something like “Mark shared “EX01 - One Question” and 32 other boards with you”. Perhaps there is an interim step where either: - The person sharing is able to choose to not send invite emails; or - Miro just doesn’t send any additional invite emails within 10 minutes of having sent a previous one. We really need a quick fix for this as it is causing regular complaints.  More information in this non-wishlist thread:https://community.miro.com/peer-support-45/resolved-how-to-stop-spam-invite-to-board-mailers-4058

    Add object interactions (Similar to Powerpoint triggers)Open

    Ask:Add object interactions for all shapes, diagramming tools, notes etc. Problem Statement:I mainly use Miro to document analysis and presenting it to stakeholders. The diagramming options and scope to document across a sprawling canvas are great. However, some missing functionality limits creativity and its ability to share information easily. For example I have a process map for a standard happy path. I want to add an overlay for system touchpoints as well as build in exception paths. Currently, I would either have to add the overlay and create multiple journeys within the same flow, which can quickly become very convoluted, or create new maps for each scenario. Multiple journeys = a lot of panning across the board between journeys which can become quite confusing and nauseating for viewers when sharing.One journey = Visually complex process map that is hard to digest, especially for stakeholders unfamiliar with the journey. Idea:Similar to Powerpoints triggers (but hopefully more easier to use). If i could add simple buttons that have show/hide links to other objects, I could have all of this information sat in one, interactive flow. Great for stakeholders that im presenting to and easier for me to present!Adding in object interactions instantly gives a huge amount of options for creativity and flexibility when capturing/presenting analysis. Im sure there are many, many use cases for something as simple as this. If anyone has something that is currently available to achieve this, that would also be helpful to know!Im also aware that maybe this leans too much into the prototyping module, but I believe could be manual and simple enough to benefit users massively without negatively impacting on that.
