In the spirit of collaboration, we listened to your feedback and learned that one of the biggest challenges teams face is how to build and maintain engagement throughout meetings and workshops. When meeting online, teams may not always want to express themselves verbally, which makes it challenging to keep everyone engaged and dialed in with the group.That’s why we’re launching reactions, a fun new feature that can increase engagement during meetings and workshops by giving everyone a chance to express themselves.  Select from six emojis to express how you feel at any time during a meeting or workshop   Participants can raise their hands and facilitators will get notified  Facilitators can lower hands  The reactions feature is available for all users, and board owners will be able to turn the option on and off.

I’ve noticed, that the lock is not available for guest editors anymore. They have no ability to lock and unlock items on my board. But I haven’t found info about this change in a “What’s New”. Does anyone know smth about it?

Starting today, all Miro users can recover accidentally deleted board content without having to contact support. Based on the feedback provided to us by beta testers, this functionality is especially convenient for big collaborative boards with multiple collaborators. Board editors (except anonymous guest editors) can restore: Any content deleted from the board during their current active session and 30 minutes after the content was deleted in case the session is over  The last 1000 objects deleted from the board – if the restoration occurs more than 30 minutes after the content was deleted Any content deleted from the board if the objects were selected and deleted simultaneously for an indefinite period of time – until the next 1000 objects are deletedThis functionality is accessible via Activity list in the collaboration toolbar in the lower left corner of your Miro board. Curious to learn more?
