Emoticons not supported in PDF?

When exporting a Miro document to PDF, all emoticons are replaced with boxes (white fill, black outline). Exporting the same document to JPEG works fine, all emoticons are visible. Is this a known issue? Any workarounds available? Thank you, Martijn   miro 0.3.32 (mac app, not in browser) macOS 10.15.3

How to remove a word added to the spellcheck dictionary

I have accidentally added a word to the Miro spellcheck dictionary by a miss-click. How would I access the added words and remove it from Miro - I dont want to perpetually misspell ‘guard’ - or is it ‘gaurd’!Is this even a Miro option, or do I need to access the dictionaries on my PC and change them.I am using the desktop version.Thanks!

Issues with wrapping text without it automatically shrinking text size?

I want to make the text box a specific height. Instead of the box changing to the size I want, it just shrinks or expands the text horizontally, no wrapping. Is there a way to increase the height of the text box? I’m using the app on a MacBook Pro. It worked the same way on Chrome.

Problems selecting items with [Shift]+Click

Hello Mironauts,I have noticed that since yesterday the logic by which elements are selected seemingly changed.Until yesterday I have used the rectangular selection tool [Shift]+Click to select multiple items. This method would always only select those items that are fully surrounded by the selection frame.Since yesterday however, this method now selects all items that are surrounded by this selection frame AND everything that is underneath it e.g. background items.This makes batch selection extremely time consuming, as I have to always deselect multiple background items.Example:Before I could select the headline, text and button using [Shift]+Click to draw a rectangle around them. The light blue background was only selected if I drew the selection box around the whole element. When I try the same method now, the background element gets selected as soon as my selection frame touches it.Best,Malte

Miro not working properly..

Hi everyone, I have been using MIRO since 1.5 years almost. But from past 1 month this is not working properly, as can not draw new shapes and boxes even. Either in the same board, i can copy something and paste it then i can edit in that way, but never draw even a line in it. I have used MIRO APP, and the APP is working fine but we can not copy the content from one board to another this show me the error :*copying is not allowed* even i have editors rights to do so.I need the solutions for the web and app if possible. Rest is good to work as a remote team member from all around world. Thanks MIRO Team.

How to delete profile

Hi, I signed up with Apple ID.After registration system assigned strange email to my profile. Something like blablabla@privaterelay.appleid.com I tried to change the password using Profile settings->email address->change…This action requires "current password". I enter my Apple ID pass → systems says that for my profile the password is not set.I go to Profile settings->password->change… Fill in the new pass, confirm it and press save button. nothing happens… and profile is not set anyway. I try to delete my profile. system says that email confirmation sent but it never comes… probably because I have no access to this blablabla@privaterelay.appleid.comThe question are:How to set the password? OR How to change email address? OR How to delete the profile?

Improve experience for Typescript developers

Hi!Currently there exists a type definition of the Miro SDK in the form of `miro.d.ts` in the app-examples Git repository.Unfortunately there are two issues with it:Because it’s not packaged as a type package finding it is difficult for developers new to the Miro ecosystem. I actually stumbled across it but had searched for it a lot prior to that. The definitions of the `enums` cannot be used (see: https://lukasbehal.com/2017-05-22-enums-in-declaration-files/)It would be great if:the enums would be published part of a module that can be used for the runtime and the types would be published as a DefinitelyTyped packageAre there any plans to do so? Take care,Marijn

Adding an image to a board through the API

Hello,I’m trying to place an image to a board. I achieved to upload the image through the method described here: https://developers.miro.com/reference/create-or-update-pictureIn path params I’m using “boards” and the ID of an existing board. As a result of the query I get: { "type" : "picture", "imageUrl" : XXXXXXX, "id" : "Optional[XXXXXXXX]"}(I substituted the original values by “XXXXX”)So it seems that the image is uploaded but it’s not appearing inside the mentioned board.What am I missing?

Please tell me about the width of the Left Sidebar

Can the width of the leftsidebar opened using the "openLeftSidebar" method be changed to something other than 340px? It seems that you can change the width as an option, but when I try it, it doesn't work. https://developers.miro.com/docs/web-plugins-features#render-custom-views

Miro for Developers Show & Tell session

Curious to know if there is someone who would be willing to do a show and tell session for my organisation specifically around the potential for Miro for Developers. We have use cases within the company and need a bit of awareness for an audience of non-technical people to show them the power of using APIs etc Thinking of people like @Max Harper here or Max himself!

How to plan complex activities and make items in plan actionable?

hi all, seeking your ideas on my need to organize work.At work I am responsible to organize my teams work. We have a number of activities that run simultaneously, some with my inclusion, some without. While, it all starts with planning. Typically the activities can be grouped into logical groups of tasks with defined deliverables (something like WBS in fact). Example project: Adoption of automated patchingStreams:development (done) fixing issues in hypercare (current) Support teams readiness (current) training setup up daily/weekly procedures setup troubleshooting procedures communication campaign for business users (in preparation) global email yammer post Q&A sessions WEB support portal setup …...I like the visual interpretation of such structure, so I originally thought of using mindmap, but I will want to make the above tasks actionable and trackable. some of tasks in specific area will be worked on, some will wait. I thought of activating the specific task by converting

How comes I never get to see the "lightning" bolt so I can jump to the last change on a board?

As it says in the title. I seem to do something wrong. This option would be extremely helpful to me.

Expanding shapes while keeping lines intact

I am quite new to Miro so apologies if this has been asked before (couldn’t find the right topic). I have used a shape as a backdrop to creating a timeline which acts as an account recap and account plan for a client. I have used connecting lines to show the various activities in a certain period in time. When I try to expand the shape as and when I need to extend the timeline, the lines are dragged along too. Is this because the lines are connected to a certain point of the shape in the background rather than to an image in the foreground? If yes, how can I select the shape only without affecting the connecting lines? Interestingly, when I try to just delete the shape in the background, a few, not all, of the lines go missing as well though I created all the lines together.
