Community!From August to September 2022, Miro surveyed over 2,000 people about their relationship with work. Our findings reveal that, though the current state of work is draining and knowledge workers' desire for connection remains strong. And although many companies are shifting to a hybrid work model and research shows a majority of workers want this but hybrid is still a work in progress.🔗 We'd love your thoughts on how to make hybrid work better as well as your thoughts on collaboration in the workplace. Please share your opinions here.Your stories will help bring our data to life, illuminating how three interconnecting relationships—to work itself, to each other, and to our work selves—are forming the foundation for the future of work. As always, thank you for sharing your opinions and views with us!

Hi Miro Community 👋,We've got a very exciting update about something that a lot of you have been asking for: you can now format text in Miro cards with a new text formatting toolbar! You were already able to do this by using shortcuts, but we realized through your feedback that not a lot of users knew about this and it was hard for those who didn't know the shortcuts off the top of their head 🙃. So, we iterated and added the toolbar to make it easier for everyone to format text in cards however they want. We’ll also be adding even more formatting options soon, so stay tuned 😄!Here's a 1-minute screen recording I created to show how it works.Head to your Miro board and try it out! And don't forget to let us know your feedback. Happy formatting,Steven P.S. many more improvements to cards coming soon! 😉
