We just released Grids to Miro users and are actively looking for feedback. If you have this feature, tried it and feel like sharing your thoughts with us, don’t hesitate to let us know!
This is a great enhancement, but…
I’m attempting to use the grid functionality to create a basic product roadmap. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to merge cells, so that a particular cell can cross multiple columns. For purposes of the Gantt-ish roadmap, I’ve got months/quarters as my columns and want to have certain features/tasks cover multiple time increments. I’m sure this is something that’s been considered by the Miro team - am I missing something obvious in your UX?
If there isn’t a simple way to do it, are there any suggested workarounds? This is literally the only thing stopping me from getting away from using Aha. Help (and thanks!)
Excited about this given we use a lot of spreadsheets! Ran into an issue where I can’t seem to be able to select one cell at a time to actually type text into each cell. Could it be this part is not enabled or what am I doing wrong?
I cannot seem to delete a row or column. not trash icon is available, as shown in the help instructions. I can only ADD. A toggle that changes “add” to “remove” might be nice, like holding shift changes + to -.

I would loooove to try this out. But it's not yet available on our team account. How could I get access to it?
Hi Rico, Grids are now available to select teams using Miro, and we’re hoping to roll them out to everyone really (like really) soon. So, please, stay tuned for updates.

When I hover over a cell in the grid, I see a ‘3-dot’ icon floating at the far end of the row and at the top of the column for that cell. If I click that icon, a toolbar menu opens which includes a trash can to delete either the row or column, depending upon which 3-dot menu was opened. Hope that helps!
- Text Alignment in Cells: As of now Grid only supports left/center/right alignments it would be good if Top/Middle/Bottom alignments are also provided
I’m also missing it
Why not just duplicate one grid multiple times to keep them all the same size?
Snap objects also just makes it easy to align objects with one another but not with the grid - that has to be done manually as far as I know.

Hi
The grid is an awesome feature :-)
I have been using it to create some swim lanes to describe user flows for a system we are building.
I have noticed that often I can not resize the rows or columns, even though there is enough free space.
I have shifted to manual cell resize.
I have shapes and connection lines in the cells and the lines also go across the cells.
I nice add on would be to make it possible to change text direction to vertical, in my case I would use that for row names. That is often used for swim lanes. In the current setup, the text gets in my way ;-)

Other than that, I love working with the grid and Miro in general :-)
it doesn’t seem like there is a way to lock a grid so that participants in a brainstorm can just click in the entry field (text field) or drag something to the given cell. the locking seems to be all or nothing and inconsistent (like a grid building can’t say “lock this stuff, but leave this stuff open” the way you might do with a form filling out version of a pdf for instance. So random guest editors or naive senior executives who haven’t figured out your “interaction physics” are stuck feeling like they broke something. Help?
Another feedback for the cell text -
An option to copy cell text from one to another while keeping all the parameters of the text intact.
Cheers!
I am having trouble editing a grid (adding text) through browser (Google Chrome), but I have no problem editing a grid using the App. Can you please fix this for browser?

Very eagerly waiting this feature. I can see my inner-child waiting for the elevator, but still mashing that button in hopes it gets here faster.
Ah - come on just release it This feature would be a dealbreaker :)
I’m looking into this feature for user requirements gathering, but it looks like the text you type directly into the cells will NOT be exported into an CSV excel file. I know it will work with sticky notes, but that’s an extra move on the guest users part (shout out to the guest editing feature!), and sticky notes have a text limit, and putting a text box in there might get confusing for them to know if this is the text box or the cell in the grid.
TLDR; can we get the direct text in the cells of the grids to export too?
Some feedback. I would like to group elements that are inside the grid. But I am unable to do that. I can select multiple items, but it doesn't let me group.
The work-around is to move the stuff outside of the grid, group it, and then move it back in.

Thanks for the feedback – noted!
update: the lines function glitches when resizing within a cell of the grid.
Sorry to hear something is glitching! It’d be very helpful if you could DM me with a quick video (you can use Loom to record one, for example) to show what exactly is happening there.
Hi
Thank you for enabling this feature for testing. A quick feedback on the feature
- feature is very good and the auto column adjust works like a charm
- Issue with alignment of icons / images in the cells: if you place icon in the cell and when you click on align left/center/right the image is not aligning accordingly
- Cannot clear Grid Title: feature is not allowing to clear the Grid Title even if you want to just add space to clear the title that is also not working
- Text Alignment in Cells: As of now Grid only supports left/center/right alignments it would be good if Top/Middle/Bottom alignments are also provided
Will give more feedback as and when I came across any issue
Feedback:
Different behaviour using grid feature in Web and windows app.
In Browser, I was able to select number of rows and columns while selecting the grid. But in windows app I am not able to select number of rows & columns and grid is by default creating as 3x3 See the video for more clarity

Thanks for giving us feedback, Bhaskar! Please, keep it coming. After the Grids v.1 is released, we’ll continue adding more features and improving the UX, so all of your feedback is super helpful. I already shared it with the product team working on Grids.
Testing out the grid functionality today and wondering whether there is a plan in the roadmap to include import or copy from excel/spreadsheets into the grids (not as stickies)? This would be HUGE, particularly for building project timelines in Miro.
Really like the ability to resize columns and rows to accommodate content, and color-coding of cells, rows, and columns.
