Missing Sticky Notes tool in the toolbar

Last week, while facilitating a learning session in Miro, a participant flagged to me about "Sticky Notes gone missing." I wasn't sure what to belief. But it did indeed happen. See screenshot. "Missing Sticky Notes tool"Has anybody else experienced this before? If so, what was the "remedy"?

Changing member to admin on Education Account

Hi, I can’t seem to find a way to change an existing member to a Team admin. The only option when I click the three dots after clicking on the member is to delete them from the team. Note that this is on an Education Account. Any tips?!?!

User research repository / knowledge management inside Miro?

Dear Community,we're planning to set up a user research repository or a knowledge management tool in our company. I've looked through a dozen of tools and we're also considering Miro as one of the options, since we use it anyway. Do you have any tips on setting it up inside Miro? Here are my questions1. Is it possible to search between boards, for example search by tags that are used in multiple boards? I'm afraid that building one huge board will make it unusable after some time.2. The main advantage of using research repository tools, is that there you work with raw transcripts of audio/video, which then are highlighted, tagged and can be moved around. Any tips on linking/ connecting transcripts to Miro? The obvious solution is copy paste interesting parts to a spreadsheet and then import them all as notes/ cards. But maybe there's something else.3. Any plans to have search within documents, e.g. attached PDFs or for OCR (similar to Evernote)? Here are some links that I've gathered,

Hi,If a previous member locked frames/objects in numerous boards and this member has been removed from the team, will they be unlocked automatically if a new admin has been created or those admin rights have been passed to another team member?Thanks!

Lost the editor rights on my own board

I am new to MIROI created a massive workflow in Miro, when I was working on sharing it with my team I must have ticked the wrong box because I lost the editor rights to my own board. If I try to access sharing settings it tells me to request editor rights.Well I am the only person linked to the board and somehow managed to degrade myself from editor to commentor, and basically no one has rights to edit the board now. Can someone help me regain my editor rights???

Miro - where teams get no events?

I am talking about the Miro web plugin SDK and its capabilities.The main Miro landing page talks about how great Miro is for teams and collaboration. So you can imagine my surprise to learn that the SDK events are only for single user boards. There are no events for changes to the board made by my team!What makes this even more bizarre, is that these events do exist under the hood. When a team member moves a widget around, I can see it moving around on my Miro board. When a team member creates a new widget, it immediately appears in my view too!So I’m left only to speculate why these events aren’t propagated through the SDK and instead the SDK gets filtered events of only actions that I myself have done.Please tell me there are plans to add SDK event support for boards used by more than one person. It would allow for much more advanced and live collaboration oriented plugins. PS. I am aware of extreme workarounds like building a state machine with a hidden widget, or a state machine on

Can I use Miro with Zoom on Linux?

If so, How do I install it and get everything working? So far nothing I’ve tried has worked. I have no idea whether it’s a miro problem, a zoom problem, or a linux problem.

Dot voting and Sticky Notes

I’m relatively new to MIRO and my company have taken on the tool for in-house collaboration.My scenario is that I want to facilitate a session where collaborators will Sticky Note their ideas and then the group will dot vote on those to take forward. I’ve created my first board for this purpose.I want to preload the board with dot votes so I can concentrate on facilitation, rather than being a ‘board gardener/caretaker’, as I will be the sole facilitator.The problem is the last item added to the board is at the front, meaning pre-loaded dot votes will go behind a sticky note when moved by default. This was noticed by the two testers of my board as I have a frame where uses can familiarise themselves with MIRO when the dot votes disappeared behind their sticky notes.Is there anything I can do to smooth this process (other than have to ‘bring to front’ the dot votes during the session after the last sticky was added)? Thanks,David

Metadata not returned via JS SDK for widgettype=CARD

Hi, this topic is maybe connected to https://community.miro.com/developer-platform-and-apis-57/unable-to-get-card-metadata-with-rest-api-1921. But in my opinion it was not answered becuase the question was about widgetType=CARD and the answer was widgetType=STICKER. So:I created a CARD via REST API (POST https://api.miro.com/v1/boards/${this._miro.boardId}/widgets ) with a metadata. I created a STICKER via REST API (POST https://api.miro.com/v1/boards/${this._miro.boardId}/widgets ) with the exact same metadata object like in 1. In the Browsers DEV Console I did a miro.board.widgets.get({id: "<id of the created STICKER>"}) → Result: the metadata was returned as expected In the Browsers DEV Console I did a miro.board.widgets.get({id: "<id of the created CARD>"}) → Result: the metadata object was empty. Expected was the same metadata content like in 3.So for me the behaviour for CARDs is different from the behaviour of STICKERs. Does this somehow make sense? Sorry if not repr

Frustrating select all experience

Does anyeone else find it really frustrating that they sometimes select all (CTRL + A) to select text in a field or in a box and accidentally select everything because the item might not have been quite selected correctly.The result is that the view zooms out to include all items in the entire board. This is really frustrating on boards which have thousands of items where I will now need to zoom back in and reorient myself to find the original location.This happens to me 2-3 times per hour where I am copying items→ selecting the text of an item → select all (to select all text in the box) → delete → type new text I would LOVE a setting to only select everything on the screen instead of the whole board.

Connection text as an anchor for multiple shapes

Hello everyone,I'm a new user of Miro and loving it!My primary usage of Miro is concept mapping, and there is a crucial feature I lack in this perspective. in Cmaptools, I can connect several concepts to one proposition (connection text), like so:Unfortunately, however, this is impossible (or is it?) in Miro.So, can I do it? Or is this feature missing? And if so, will it be available in the future?Thank you very much,Yuval

Flowchart

Hello,I created a new board of type Flowchart and I hare a question:I saw that there is a note option on the left top corner of the screen but all the notes I wrote there are for all the board.Is there a way to add a note and connect it to a specific element in the flowchart? I don’t want to add a note on the board because I have a lot of elements there and adding notes to the board will be too massy, I want to see the note only when I click on a specific element.Is there a way to do it?

Mindmap initial oval fill

Hello, For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fill the initial oval of my mindmap. I’ve tried the highlighter, however if you go over even a little bit of what you highlighted, it causes that area to appear darker than the rest of the highlighted area.  i can change the color of the outline of the oval, but no fill. Thanks, Bob

Can't login

Hi,I recently upgraded and now can’t login. It’s not accepting my password (which I know is right because I use a password locker), then when I try and change the password I am getting a response that my email address isn’t recognised despite it being the one my invoice and receipt have been sent to. I tried logging in via Google with the email address associated with the account as I thought perhaps that’s what I had done originally; which has logged me on, but my upgrade isn’t associated with the account. Have tried both Safari and Firefox with the same result and checked my other email addresses just in case but there isn’t nothing associated with Miro in them.  Any thoughts?

Geschriebener Text verschwindet

Hallo, ich hatte gerade folgendes Problem:Auf der Tafel war ich mit einem iPad, ich mit einem Laptop und Person B mit einem Tablet.Als Person B etwas geschrieben hat, war es für mich ganz normal. Für Person B verschwand der Text allerdings nach einer Sekunde wieder, so als ob mit einer Art Zaubertinte geschrieben worden wäre.Woran könnte das liegen?Oder gibt es diese Art Zaubertinte tatsächlich und Person B hat sie aus Versehen aktiviert?

¿Is there any way to link cards, as they were related to a mayor objetive?

I notice that I can connect cards with arrows when they are outside the table. But it is not possible when they are inside. So, I figure it out that I can link the cards between each other, when they have any kind of hierarchy (Notice the small arrow on the second image). If you need to know which card a task refers to, you can touch the arrow and it will take you to its original card.I hope it helps!

High frequency transformation update event

I am talking about the Miro web plugin SDK and its capabilities.I am successfully using the WIDGETS_TRANSFORMATION_UPDATED event to react to widget transformations like resizing and draging.The problem is with the eventually consistent nature of this event. The event only fires when I release my mouse button and stop resizing or moving a widget. I would like to react to these changes quicker on the fly as the widget is still being resized or moved around.The basic use case is that I want to change the background color of sticky notes depending on their location on the canvas. Currently the user has to already know where these special areas are and then drop the widget in that location. It would be a much smoother user experience if I could update the color of the sticky note immediately as it enters the correct area.This type of feature is known as a drop hint and it is commonly found in high quality UIs.The Miro web client already has all this data, because obviously the vanilla widge
