Seamlessly Adding Rows/Columns to Program Board Frame/Template

Calling all brilliant people!! Needing help please!! :)Why can’t you just add columns and rows to a program board like you can with a generic excel table? Is there a way to do this? I hate having to go and hand-select hundreds of boxes to copy and paste when I wish I could select “add row” or “add column” or even just lasso everything at once, duplicate and be done. BUT, if I lasso something (like the proud Texan I am), it only grabs two out of DOZENS of elements in the lasso so I have to click individually every item inside the target area…. sigh. This is the ONLY thing I don’t like about Miro. Doing this is NOT an intuitive workflow and I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue or found a workaround?Thanks!!

Object suggestions after arrows

Hi, I am a new user of miro and I think I turned off a nice feature. I am doing process flow diagrams and, in the beginning, the miro was automatically suggesting a list of shapes for me to add in the end of an arrow.Unfortunately I turned this option off and I don’t know how to turn it back on. Any tips? Thank you

Colored Excel cells no longer paste as colored stickies

Hi everyone,About 4 months ago I was working on an affinity project in excel and was pleasantly surprised to discover that bulk pasting colored cells into Miro from Excel created stickies of comparable colors. This was awesome. However, this no longer seems to work. Copying from Excel and pasting into Miro gives me yellow stickies regardless of the colors in Excel. In contrast, this still works when copying from Sheets. For NDA reasons, I cannot use Google suite at my company.Can someone confirm that bulk pasting colored stickies from Excel still/no longer creates colored stickies in Miro? Am I just not doing it right? Have I lost my mojo?Thanks//A

How to handle saving daily meeting notes

I'd like to start using Miro for our daily stand up however I am not sure the best way to save the "notes" from the daily standup meetings each day. Our current process is to create a word document for each day in our sharepoint site so the entire team has access to all historical notes and in theory can search for key words to locate the relevant SCRUM notes (this doesn't really work in practice as the search engine isn't that great in sharepoint). Is the best course of action to create a new board for each day? If so, how does one organize all of the boards to keep the projects from being cluttered? Or should each day be in a "frame" on the board? Is there concerns with load times if one goes this route? Is there a way to search through past days (frames)?Any guidance or best practice tips around this are welcome.

How to delete a used templates?

Hi,I have imported/used the Design Sprint template on a board. Now I want to cleanup the board. But I can’t select all and delete. First thing I notice is that the elements are all locked… how to unlock all of them at once? Then I noticed that even after unlocking some of them manually I can’t select them all. They simply don’t get selected… Can anyone help with this template and its deletion? And is there a general, efficient method to clean up a board completely?Thanks in advance,Ulrich

Admin right transferred accidentally

Hi! I am having trouble with my account. I used to have a free account and 3 boards and a team (I was adding e-mails to it). On 4th of June the company I taught students for incorporated my e-mail into their enterprise account without my knowledge or consent. The company is big and it is impossible to track responsible people. It seemed I could create another location to move my private boards. But it turned out that I am no longer an admin of my team - one student who created his own boards and invited me to them became an admin of the team that I have created. How could it have happened? And how do I gain the control of my boards and team again?Thank you

Exporting Cards within a Frame

I have created a set of cards within a frame to group these together. When I export a single card, or multiple cards to csv it is correctly separated (Title, Description, URL, Tag, Assignee, Due Date) leaving gaps when there is missing data. However when I export a group of cards within a frame gaps in data are ignored and the data is presented based on what is there. For exampleTitle, Description, Tag, Assignee, Due DateTitle, Tag, Due DateThis causes a problem with the CSV as the data is not in the correct columns.Any thoughts/advice/help?Cheers

Templates and Editing/Usability

I just started using Miro! I am finding that the templates are not very easily editable. Especially on the graphs, when trying to edit the text, I keep deleting other things. Took me about 10 minutes to figure it out. I am not sure if this is just me, or if others have faced this issue. A good idea would be to provide some tips on how to edit. I am used to using other software's like Prezi, Trello etc and never found an issue with this, so I was shocked I found this difficult to use.

tracking guest editors

HiThe info button on objects tells you who created and edited the object. Where that was by a guest editor it just displays “guest”. I’m happy with this. But our privacy office would like to know if there is any tracking of the ip numbers or otherwise of guest editors and their contributions.  CheersMike

Customize Hotkeys

I would love to be able to customize hotkeys for certain kinds of inputs. Specifically, my need is that I have set up a certain structure of sticky notes which I always use in the same hierarchy. I would love to be able to just press N+Alt+1 to get my customized sticky of my customized size etc. Maybe even having this as a feature to select in the settings optionally for heavy userswould be great.
