Non-admin gets access request notification emails

One of my users that is not a team admin and is not the owner of any boards is getting email notifications from notification@miro.com when another user requests access to a board.  I am one of the team administrators but I’m not getting any such notifications.  How do I turn of the anomalous notifications?

Turn Spreadsheet into User Story Map

Hi. What would be the most efficient way to turn a spreadsheet into a User Story Map?Stories (about 75) have been captured in a spreadsheet, and I’m simply looking for an efficient method for turning each row into a card that can be moved around on a User Story Map in Miro.Thanks!

Help embedding Google Calendar

Hi all, I’m trying to embed an iFrame to see my Google Calendar on my board… nothing fancy, just so I can use it alongside task planning… I tried pasting just the URL from the browser, as well as the dedicated iFrame link from the Google Calendar settings…  - Browser URL just gets a card + meta data - iFrame full code (<iframe src=” etc) just gets a ‘play’ button - iFrame URL only gets an ‘invalid URL’ error on Miro Any ideas how to embed it ‘inline’ onto the board?  Maybe I’m using the wrong link or settings… but I’m using the iFrame embed tool in Miro each time…Thanks very much,Neil

Why my shapes change format while I move them

I really don’t know what is going on with my board.There are situations when I need to move a shape to another location inside the same frame. And while I’m dragging it, the shape loses its format or connects randomly to another shape and I cannot control it.It is really very frustrating

How to have two views of the same content?

Hi there!I’m using Miro for organizing the content of my upcoming lectures. I start with mind-maps and continue to sort their branches’s contents into slots for the next lecture dates.It would be cool to have two different ways of looking at the same Miro contents (here called an A and B view). So I could switch between A the displaying as a mind-map that facilitates generating and connecting ideas, and B the timetable where I can sort the different parts of the mind map into. Depending on the current task, I could choose the better representation. That would be so nice, as you could always switch between researching and organising your thoughts.Or is there such a feature already? :-)Thanks!Sebastian

Child Node Align feature not working properly

Hello,I’ve just started using Miro a few days back and all was going well until today when I tried aligning the Child Nodes, it jumbled up my notes into one whole cluster mess whereby everything started overlapping each other. Even aligning a single sub-note’s child nodes would lead it to over-lap to another sub-note that I created. Is there fix for this so that it re-organises my notes neatly other than manual work? Or is it just a common issue for a mind map with large quantity of objects. My map has 302 objects on it before it started having issues of automatic aligning.

My First Board?

Hello,I am a teacher and my students will be working in teams on some whiteboarding activities over the next several weeks using this wonderful Miro platform. I sent the invite link to the class to give them access and I have set up boards for each team.I noticed that sometimes when students first come into Miro for the first time they end up creating their own board called, “My First Board.” I’m not sure if this is intentional. Once they do this I cannot delete the board, that just sits empty, and have learned that I need to delete the student and then bring them back, if needed. First, I’d like to know how I can bring back the individual student who I deleted as an active user so I could delete the board they created that remains blank and unused. Do I need to send an individual invite? Or does the invite link that I gave to the class allow them to freely come back? Also, I’d like to encourage them to go straight to the team board I have already created and to not create these indivi

API for workspaces

I’ve haven’t explored the API documentation yet, but I’m trying to get some guidance on a K12 use case.  Using the API, would I be able to do the following:  create a board for each student in a class. create the same Kanban chart on each student’s board add a the same item to the kanban board of each student (such as an assignment) access items on each student’s boardThanks for any thoughts.

Why do links to duplicated boards get crossed?

I created a board, then duplicated it. I changed the name on the duplicated board. Both boards were to be used in separate Zoom meetings as public boards. When we were in the first meeting, I gave the link to 1 board. Half the participants ended up in the wrong board, even though I never gave them that link, nor did anyone else in the meeting/on the board have the other link. I did have both boards public at the time because there was going to be a time overlap between the Zoom sessions and I wanted to make sure that there would be a smooth transition.This is now the second time this has occurred. The first time, we copied the board 4 times for 4 classes that were occurring on Zoom at the same time. Students ended up on each others’ boards. We assumed it was user error. But since it continues to occur, we think it must be an issue with Miro.All the links appear different when we paste them into a document, but they still cross somehow. Any ideas?

Widget top and bottom bounds attribute inverted?

Hi, I was doing some widget plotting and detection earlier and found that widgets seem to have “reversed” values in their y-axis top and bottom bounds property. For example a fresh widget which I created with miro shape creator had these bounds:This might just be a result of different plotting technique or something but from what I know bottom y axis point should always be smaller than the top y axis point. Is this “inverted” on purpose? If yes what is the idea behind this? Also I have not made any tranformations / translations on the board or widgets. And what really bugged me is that the x-axis left and right points are plotted normally (left is on the left and right is on the right) unlike the y-axis points. From which arises another question is this actually plotted on the board in reverse or are the values just passed to the wrong attribute inside the widget data?

Web plugins - similar to Looking glass?

Hello, Does anybody know of any plugin in the market similar to the plugin named Looking Glass in this guide? https://developers.miro.com/docs/web-plugin-examples#looking-glass I find it to be useful, but I figured out maybe somoeone in the community already built it from the API example and can share the finished plugin with me. Saves me a lot of time of learning how to do it myself. Thank you,Omar

Automating content updates between boards

Hello everyone,I am currently working between two Miro boards and looking to update an image automatically from one board to another. Here is my situation: I have one board (let’s call it board A) dedicated to a user flow showcasing screenshots of the web design by iteration. I update this board on a regular basis. My board B provides an overview of all projects I am working on and need to contain the most up to date screens from board A. My goal is to find a way to connect images from board A to board B and have them automatically update anytime I update/replace my images in board A.Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Can Miro Kanban & Microsoft Planner be linked together?

Hi all,Can we have our To-Do’s from a Miro Kanban appear in Teams automatically? e.g. by Linking the Miro Kanban with an identical Planner setup in Teams? We just really love having all our to-do’s in one place, so any tips on how to do that when using Teams and Miro are very very welcome :-)  Thanks for any input!

Frage zu Miro presentation mode

Moin Zusammen,ich bin noch relativ neu bei Miro und habe dazu eine Frage: Ich nutze Miro zur Personaleinteilung anhand von Bildern. Das Board bzw. die Frames lasse ich über den presentation mode als Vollbild auf einem TV anzeigen. Aber jedesmal, wenn der PC, der am TV hängt, ein Problem mit dem Internet hat, beendet sich der presentation mode automatisch. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit Dies zu verhindern? Vielen Dank für eure HilfeLieben GrußSebastian

Reset board after use

Hi,I have seen this idea: https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/reset-a-board-a-specified-state-821I guess that is similar to what I’m asking for. Maybe I’m wrong or don’t see the difference between templates and miroverse. But a miroverse board I can view without being logged in to Miro. And that board will be a copy on my dashboard if I would like to use it. But is it possible to sett the restrictions so that anyone with a password can edit a Miroverse/ template without logging in as a user. But don’t mess with the original template? I’m not sure if I explain myself well but I know the copy/paste alternative of duplicating a template for a future workshop, but I would like to have a board that “anyone” can access and play around with but not messing up the original setup. So part of my board could be a “preview” of another template that you can drag and drop thing into be after you close it will show the default view of the template.If it would be possible to reset it once every da

Rest API: Send to Back/Bring to Front

Is there a way to change the layering of widgets on a board via the rest api?I get inconsistent layering, i think due to race conditions sending create widget requests. From what i can tell the more recently added widgets always end up on top, but i  can’t find a way to add a widget behind ones that already appear on the board.I assume i’m missing something? Thanks for the helpMokes

I was charged for seat after plan cancellation

Hi!Today I cancelled the consultant plan. There was one team member in my team that I wasn’t aware of. After plan cancellation I was charged additional $9 for the seat [sic!!!] I cancelled the subscription because I didn’t want to pay anymore :) Moreover, my plan is still valid for 5 more days. It does not make much sense for me. When you cancel subscription you are not able to edit some of your boards. I would expect that any team members would be just removed / lose access to the boards using the similar logic. I don’t really understand why I was charged

Confirmation on modal close

Dear Miro team,My users need to edit a text in modal, after the edition is done, they may forget to save the changes, and the changes should not be lost by their reckless clicks on somewhere outside of the modal (which causes the modal to be closed).Can I listen ‘to on modal close event’ and ask the user to confirm closing the editor?Thanks,Mohsen Bazmi
