I’m unofficially calling it: Board Content Copy Permissions.As it turns out, I was close with the name. Here’s a link to the official Help Center article → Board Content settings DISCLAIMERI don’t work for Miro.Everything I am sharing with you here is what I discovered today on my own (and I will surely get some of it wrong).

Hey fam 👋, OAuth 2.0 is here! And with it comes improved security and stricter compliance protocols, creating a stronger authentication between Miro and Jira. Note: OAuth 2.0 is only supported for Jira Cloud customers. Jira Server & Data Center customers will still need to use OAuth 1.0x.What is OAuth 2.0: It is an industry standard protocol for authorization. To learn more about OAuth 2.0 as a technical concept, click here.What it means for Miro users:When authenticating the Jira integration with OAuth 2.0, users can import issues from multiple Jira instances into a board.What Miro users need to do: Existing Jira Integration user New user No action required.  However, if you want to update your authentication method from OAuth 1.0x to OAuth 2.0 (specific to Jira Cloud customers), a Miro Admin will need to update the Jira integration settings following these instructions <<here>>  Interested in installing and using the Jira integration?

Hey Miro Fam 👋,We have a cool new update for all you who run retros, workshops and brainstorm sessions. Introducing Private Mode, a new feature that allows you to create space to share input. Give teams a private space to reword, prepare and reflect within a meeting, encouraging more feedback and diverse insights. How it works: Any editor on the board can activate Private mode. While the mode is active, participants can enter their opinions on sticky notes in private, with the content invisible to others (authors will continue to be visible). Any of the editors can end the mode and upon ending, contents of all sticky notes will be revealed. Private Mode in actionHead to your Miro board and try it out, and don't forget to share your feedback with us here on Miro Communities. Enjoy your new private space!ShubangiPS: Available on all paid plans

Do you remember those cases when you select all content on the board and accidentally delete it? Yeah, I know this feeling The good news is that now, when you select all of the content from your board (containing more than 100 widgets) and try to delete it, you will see a confirmation modal.Hopefully, this will help our users prevent accidental content deletion   Just a reminder that you can find all product updates in the Changelog.

Frames are an essential feature that helps structure your content on Miro boards. Here are the two of the most recent enhancements: Automatic numeration for frame names: if you call your first frame 'Frame name 1', we'll be automatically adding the next number to the name of the next frame you add to the board ('Frame name 2', 'Frame name 3', etc) Better rendering of frame names when you're zoomed out of the board to increase perceivability of board content

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little bit more about Miro Live Embed which we announced yesterday. Miro Live Embed enables you to access your Miro boards from many of your favorite team collaboration products, including: Airtable, Coda, Confluence, Jira Software, Trello, Procore, RemoteHQ, and Whereby.  We hope the Live Embed experience makes your workflows simpler, removing the need for hopping between tabs and tools, and helps put the whiteboard at your fingertips when you need it most. We also hope that we can make it easy for any product or service to benefit from a live collaborative whiteboard experience, without requiring a lot of development effort. Our API makes it really easy to integrate Live Embeds, with partners having done it in just a few hours. If you’re interested in integrating we’d also love to hear from you.  Check out the announcement blog, share with your friends and co-workers, and let us know what you think or what tools you’d like to see with live embed!

Hi everyone, Melissa here from the Product Marketing team at Miro.   We have another update for you this week. Accidentally delete your board? No need to worry — you can now access and restore boards that have been deleted in the last 30 days. Restoring boards from Trash is available for Team, Business, Consultant, Education, and Enterprise plans only. If you’re on the free plan, there are a few options for you. When you delete a board, you’ll see a confirmation notification where you can click “Undo.” You can also restore the board if you have the board URL. The easiest way to find the link is to search for the name of the board in your browser history or your email inbox. For more information, visit our Help Center to learn more.
