I wan to show a custom message bar on top of all the board across my team. I can push a message on the board through web plugin using showNotification() method but if I use method, the notification disappears after few seconds.I want to ensure this message never disappears from the board and every time user open the board, this message is visible.

Excel layout copy to Miro

Hello, I'm new to Miro and trying to find out what all the possibilities are between Miro and Excel.In Excel I have a planning template with data filled from a other page.When the calendar needs to start, days, week nbr etc..I fill some details in the settings page of excel and my calendar is filled.The reason for this is that not all my calendars are the same or start on the same date.Every cell has some data in it that I use for other things. My question, I want the data/calendar of excel as my template to place the sticky notes in.I can use an image but then there is no intelligence to it as adding a column  in Miro.Off course I can do this all manually but that's a lot of work for every new project.Does anyone know if this is possible? If yes, how can I do this? Below a screen shot how my excel template looks like.  Thanks, Daniel

Copy paste branch

Hi there, I am drawing a mind map. I have a main branch “microbial communities” with many subbranches. I would like “microbial communities” with all the subbranches to be connected with a thick line from coming out from “Cell populations”, not directly from the root. I tried copy past but I did not succeed how can I do it? Warm thanks

Create Overflow plugin for Miro

Looking for some guidance.  I am on an internship and have been asked to look into a way Miro can add flow diagram projects from Overflow.  What i want to do is to add projects from Overflow as you would do with the already available plugin for Adobe XD.  The idea is to provide collaboration on Overflow projects.  Any assistance to point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

SDK + Typescript 👉 Unable to get Props like "Text" from Widget

Hi,I’ve just started to code a react app with typescript and I’m struggling with getting some props (ex. “Text”) from interfaces like IStickerWidget which extends IWidget. interface IWidget extends IWidgetNamespaces { readonly id: string readonly type: string readonly bounds: IBounds readonly groupId?: string readonly createdUserId: string readonly lastModifiedUserId: string }Here is the scenario: 1️⃣ I’m using the type declaration miro.d.ts. 2️⃣ Here is the snippet code where:1) I get the widgets selected (through the SDK IBoardSelectionCommands and its get() method),2) filter by type (STICKER) and3) then try to get again the specific widget, but through the get command from IBoardWidgetsCommands this time, as I thought the SDK was going to return an IStickerWidget type base on the filterby id.let selectedWidgets:SDK.IWidget[] = await miro.board.selection.get()let selectedStickers:Array<SDK.IWidget> = selectedWidgets.filter((widget) => widget.type ==

Board gone

I made a board a few weeks ago. I tried to open it via the link I got from my teammates (the link worked before). When I clicked the link it opened the home page of Miro but not my board. I also can’t find my board anymore and I didn’t delete it.

How does the Miro desktop application update?

My company wants to make the Miro Desktop application (Windows 10 64-bit) available to end users. How does the application update itself? Do users get prompted that an update is available, and do users have to manually initiate the update, or does it install silently in the background without user interaction required?If user interaction is required, does the user need to be an admin on his/her device?Also, can someone approximate how frequently the Miro Desktop application updates (about once a month, twice yearly, etc.)?Thanks!

Where the disparity in node colors comes from?

Hi there, I am using flow chart boards only and I do color my nodes.There is only 16 colors. Great... ^^ However, my nodes have a variety of shades of a single color and I can’t uniform it.That looks super unprofessional and requires post-production if we are serious about presentation. Cheers,DS

Functional Wireframe Objects

Hello Miro’ians.  Apologies for this being so long and maybe this should be in the Ideas section?  If so I’ll move it but maybe what I am asking for exists and I just dont know how to do it. As a person that thinks very visually it can be very difficult to explain what I NEED to “see” a project or organize a large overview of projects and how they relate.  After playing with many many many apps and software, Miro is the first piece of software that gets very close to being a tool that would allow me to build a living environment with a dashboard overview to organize my Projects and Life.The more I use and experiment, the more capable i see that it is but I believe it can be so much more.  I love the templates and use cases people have developed that are fascinating and have opened my eyes for how organization and collaboration can be taken to more than just the next level.  I have built a solution in no time and little experience for a buddy of mine that manages many automotive technic

Jira Cards: What's the webhook content to use Automation instead of basic webhook?

Hi,Using the Jira Cards integration, we’d like to configure a manual webhook using Automation for Jira instead of the basic one that is installed automatically. However, we’re having problems. The webhook returns an error 410.It works fine when the basic Jira webhooks are used, but for some reason, Automation doesn’t get through. Is there anyone out here who were able to make webhook updates work using Automation instead of the basic webhooks, and if so, how? We really want to avoid using the basic webhooks, since their operation is not logged or rate-limited, and we use huge Jira instances with a lot of updates.Here’s my Automation action, and the webhook 410 response when fired.

Free Access Miro board

Hey All,We have a miro board that we would like to share with people who are new to MIRO and they will only have access as a ‘free user’. Is there a way for us to share the board with them so that they can duplicate and edit it as necessary? And if possible could we lock the ‘Master’ board for editing? Basically - Can a free user duplicate locked items on a board, which they can then edit themselves?

Working alone on Miro

Does anyone ever work alone on Miro? I am an associate professor who teaches African American Literature and Womanist Studies. I discovered Miro in a teaching workshop but loved the way I could connect and develop my own ideas. It was wonderful for a while. I even mapped an outline for an upcoming course and a book… And then it all went away. I tried to enclose the content in a frame and six attempts later I now have six Frame #5, none of which contain any of the content.  Has anyone else been trapped in a template? I thought I would explore the Crisis Solver template and now it’s one of the few things on my board...no matter how many times I’ve tried to delete it. I’m not completely computer illiterate-- and I really do want to explore my ideas  on an infinite board. Have you found a way to save your content? Does anyone else hit “Save and Exit” and find that you’veFinally, is anyone in the Community over 60? If so, how are you faring? A shout out of encouragement would go a long, lon

Designing a sticky note template in a special design

Dear Miro-Community,at the moment I am working in a project where we use Miro for the exchange between different departments. We would like to use a background design with a number and Logo to demonstrate the importance of a topic and additionalthe possibility to write new text in front. It would be important to have only one piece so that we can move it easily and copy it. So we search for a function similiar to the grouping in power point or word or the possibility to create a template in Miro. Is there something like this in Miro?Thanks for your help. Best regardsAnnika

Jira Cards Usage

Installed Jira Cards, seems that when we now try to use it, it does not properly populate.  For example: Searching for a project, does not show list of projects.  Everything looks right from a configuration perspective.  Almost seems like there is a security setting somewhere we missed.

Track scores for Sales

Hi,Next week we will arrange a call-outday for our Sales department and I think it would be fun and effective that we could ‘track’ the Sales scores in Miro. I could use the KanBan framework but I'm not convinced. Who has a great and fun idea to do this?All suggestions would be helpfull!
