Skip to main content

Currently if you goup some components in a “panel” and then add another component and create a group again, Miro doesn’t look at this as a multi layer grouping, but as a single group containing all components. 

If you create templates where for example you have a panel, where you want to have all the common elements - box, header, label grouped, and then the main content separately grouped with the rest.

I would like the functionality to ungroup the panel, so that I can easily edit the content, without messing up the man box, header and label, and then done, I would regroup the content witht the main panel again when done.

This also has a unexpected “feature” when you lock a section. Lockin creates a group, and when you unlock the area, the entire area is grouped, and when you then ungroup, all the underlying groupings are gone.

Especially, if you like me generate a lot of template components, that I can copy from my template board over to my working board, having the template component locked on the template board makes sense, so that I can select them as one, and copy them over. Again, here the copy is then an group of compnents, and when I ungroup, I have lost all the underlying groupings.

An example for my expected behavior is MS PowerPoint. If I group two “shapes” and then select a third shape and group with the two. When I then ungroup, I will still have the first two shapes grouped, and I can ensure that I don’t mess them up.
