Hallo, I am new to the community, setting up a new workshop for a group of people.Before starting the meeting, I would love to ask a few questions to the participants:Filling out a small questionnaire (where they can select how they feel on a scale). Adding a few topics to the meeting, by adding post-its.They can see everything from each other. But I only want them to vote and to add post-its. Nothing else. (ideally, not changing their peers’ input)Not during the meeting, but they can do that 2 weeks in advance? Do you have any ideas how to go about this? greetings,Stijn

Hello Miro Heroes As some of you may know, me and @Helena Brandist are reviewing all the templates our Miro Creators are submitting to Miroverse. We noticed a number of common pitfalls of first-time Miroverse Creators so we decided to add a couple of updates to our guidelines: When creating Miroverse profile, please add your photo, bio, current role, and links to your social accounts/your website; A high-quality cover image for your template has to showcase part of an example template that you like most and that best represents your template (no branded promotional images); Your template and its description has to be written in English; If submitting an educational template, please provide examples to indicate proper use. (Here are some examples: Alex Ivanov's Team Canvas or Julia Cowing's Customer Question). For a full list of requirements, check our official Miroverse checklist. A question for experienced Creators: I’m curious to know what are some other recommendations you hav

Hi All,I am new to Miro and would like to use it for Business Process Mapping. The process I am working on is quite complex and involves many teams/stakeholders, which in turn are sub-processes. Any suggestions on how to put everything on one board or use separate boards?Thanks

Hi Miro Heroes Anna here, your Community Manager. This March, we are celebrating Women’s History Month by hosting a special edition Miroverse Challenge, Womxn at Work, and highlighting the most inspiring female creators that contributed templates to our template library.

After replying to multiple posts with details on how to share a board with any other Miro user, and then sharing a link to one of those replies, the time as come to write my own post on the topic. Sharing a board with any Miro userWhile paid/Education Plan team members are able to share a board by downloading the board as a .rtb file, Free Plan users are unable to upload .rtb files, so that solution will not work for everyone.The easiest way for almost* anyone registered Miro user to share a copy of a Miro board with another registered user is by sending them a link to the board and having them duplicate the board into their account.*There are a few caveats:If you are on the Enterprise Plan, the Sharing Policy must be configured to allow for public board sharing - you’ll know right away if it’s not if if you don’t have the Anyone with the link option. This method uses the Board Content Settings feature, which is only available to the board owner, and may need to be enabled for non-team
