Opening a board URL in the Desktop App by passing it as a parameter

When I click a link to a Miro board, I want it to open in the Desktop App. I use BrowserChoser to delegate to different Apps by domain of the URL. When it starts the Miro.exe with the URL as a parameter it just starts the Desktop app as a new instance. What I expect is to open the board in the running instance.In other words:How can I call the desktop app from the command line and pass a URL to a board to be opened?Preferably in the already running instance?Clicking on a LInk in chrome it works just fine, it asks if I want to use the Miro app and then adds the Board as a tab in the running app.

Best way to export a flow into CSV

Hey everyone!It’s my first time using Miro, and so far is been a great experience!I would like to know if it is possible to export all the connections between my objects, as it would really help me creating tests for different features of our product.Let’s say I connect two objects, in this manner:Authentication successful? > No > Failed to login pageAuthentication successful? > Yes > Home pageIs there a way to export this as a CSV, where each line is a connection between two objects? What objects I would need to use in order to achieve this, as I’m currently using Basic Shapes and when trying to export, it says “There is no data to export”. Additionally, the type of object would be really helpful, on our example, the “Authentication Successful” is a decision and the pages are objects inside our system.Thank you for any insights!!

Bullet point formartting

Today the formatting of bullet points in text boxes on my board appears to have broken. I am using bulleted lists like such:  TitleItem 1 Sub Item 1 Sube Item 2 Item 2 However, when editing the text the formatting appears correct but once I leave the text box the bullet list formatting breaks and there are random line breaks and additional bullets. When I click back into the text box, the formatting appears normal again. Is this a bug, or can anyone recommend a solution?

Unable to convert users to team admins

I am the team-admin and want to convert other users to team-admins as well. Unfortunately I only can choose: “user information” or “remove from team”. There is no “Grant Team Admin”. Any idea why this happens? Thank you!

The problem with accessing your own file

I've been working on the file for 3 hours today to show it at work. When I finished, I decided to quit the old team so that no one else could see my file.And after that, I completely lost access to my own file. I try to follow the invitation link back, the system writes that "I'm already online in this file" and nothing helps me open my own file.

Can you lock objects made via API when they are created?

I want to lock some objects when having a set of objects created since they act as background objects, I know you can do this on board, but can it be done when created via miro.board.widgets.create?

I found a bug using charts

I found a strange behaviour when I use Charts in Miro. I was using a board and at some point some shortcuts (Paste, undo...) just stopped working. So I went to the forums and help guides, some suggestions were to restart the computer... So I did. After the restart everything was working fine, until I added a new chart into my board.  So, again some shortcuts stopped working, and I found that even navigating in a text using the keyboard arrows wasn't working. If I just refresh the page everything works just fine.  I believe it can be a bug. So, for the reproduction:Open/create a board Create a new text and type something Before leaving the text edition try to navigate using arrows Copy and paste the text Undo an action Add a chart Edit chart's data (image bellow) Try to repeat steps 2 to 5I'm using Windows 11, Chrome v125.0.6422.112 and the web version of Miro

How to save everything?

Sometimes when conducting classes you improvise and as a result, a trace of this process accumulates on the board, which is not written down anywhere else. And I want to save it for analysis, etc.The question arises: is it possible and how to save all the objects located on my board in their original form on a local disk?It would be nice to put them in chronological order, and also indicate the authors of specific changes.

What is the best practice to handle large text in Miro?

Hey There,I ran into an issue adding long text and style it in Miro, currently I’m using sticky notes, and text elements and shapes to do so. but is there a better way to do it like rich text with ability to style text and change font/color.Currently it looks ugly to add long text using text element because for some reason the element does not fit the text when it’s too long and when I’m in view mode the text overflows the element and looks like this And when ​​​​​​ in edit mode it trims the text like this Any idea how to do this better or the right way?Thanks

AWS Group incorrect behavior - is always above other items

Hi,This is rather a bug report, not a question.I’m a pretty experienced miro user (like 5 years of every-week, professional use).Recently I started drawing AWS diagrams, using AWS templates. I noticed that “AWS Group” object behaves incorrectly. E.g. totally different from a frame or standard rectangle.Bring back doesn’t work, neither by a shortcut nor by context menu. Its edges are above normal connection lines. If I however, bring such a covered line into front, then it’s correct, but apparently after continuing the work, the AWS group gets back to front by itself. Cannot click some objects that are inside the group. E.g., I have a small circle from standard shapes inside the group, but It’s hard to click it (select / gaining focus, you name it). Like all the time, it’s the group that gets the selection (focus), not the item. The same applies to some connecting lines. I cannot tell what makes some items clickable and some not.Something is incorrect there, and it’s frustrating, it bur

[RESOLVED] Text input bug

Greetings, Miro Team!I located the text box resizing bug. The page will continuously crush if you don't fill it with any symbols and then resize. I verify it using both my PC version and my Android app. In both situations, that has occurred.However, if there is a symbol in the text field, all is well and there is no mistake.

Issue with indented bullets in text box

Anyone else having issues with text box with several indented bullets being automatically formatted with new lines causing the bullets to be spaced out? When I click into the text box it will “fix” itself until I click out of the text box. This seems to be a recent issue for me. Unsure yet if its a new “bug” or something else.

Preview excel file visually and on click of anywhere of that it should take to original file.

In miro board, I want to embed excel in a way that the snapshop preview is visible in board and on click of anywhere of that snapshot it should take to the original location of the excel file. The excel file is saved in sharepoint of my company.  I kind of tried it once with one test file and it looks something as attached. But now i cant remember what I did in first place to get it. On click of object this toolbar appears but I dont know what I did in first place. I can see nice preview of excel file.   After retrying multiple options like embed url, or url the link is enabled on right corner (which is what I dont want). I want to click anywhere on the excel preview and then it should take to original file.

Anyone using Miro & Jira together found how to generate team metrics?

Just wondering if anyone has found any nice workarounds for this, as we’re hoping we’re not the only once who have tried this!Background: We’ve been using a hybrid setup for our software development teams for a few years: Miro for visualising our kanban boards and status of work items, and Jira to hold the details for each user story/task as it’s developed. We use the Jira Cards feature to create Jira cards from Miro. This gives us the benefits of Miro’s flexibility and Jira’s integration with developer tools. We’re using simple Miro tables to design our boards rather than the specific Kanban or Planner tools right now because it’s given us the most flexibility when desigining boards.Problem: Data! We have no way of automatically collecting data for metrics because the Miro board tells us the status of a card from its position in the table/board, not the Jira status field, so Miro is effectively just a picture on a screen and not data-driven. That means we’re blind to when work started
