Selecting or trying to edit a text box or text field freezes miro on Chrome/Firefox/Mac App

I can’t add or edit text on miro after March 17, 2021. Browsers and Mac app become unresponsive as soon as I click a text. I can select them in a group with other objects but as soon as the selection is only a text, browser and app freezes and I need to force close and reload.

Any tips on embedding Word documents?

We want to have backup documentation easily available.One option is to embed the Word doc, but to have it take up little space it would be tiny to read. Or we could make it bigger, perhaps on a distant part of the board and set up links back and forth (that seems like a lot of work).At the moment, we are creating links to the documents into Sharepoint. That is not terrible.Ideal would be an embedded document that displays like an icon, but then when you double click, it opens into a window within Miro that is like a document reader, but not taking you out of the Miro experience. Is this possible? Would PDFs be any better or worse?The goal is reference, not editing.Thanks for any suggestions!Rob.

Grouping and Locking is confusing

I am building a frame that is had a good amount of data. I have 1 frame around 4 frames. Sometimes when I select, it gives me the option to group; sometimes it does not. I can select a group of items in one frame and it gives me the option to group. Then I go to other frame and select elements inside and it only gives me the option to lock…and I have already grouped these elements before.

How does the search document works?

According the help, I can only search by board title, description, or text from any widgets, comments, sticky notes, etc. by typing a word or a phrase in the search bar. I want to know if there is a plan for the search functionality to read the documents content?

Use web app when following links

Hey, When I get Miro notifications through Slack, if I click a link it opens a web browser version of Miro instead of the web app. Is there a way to default to the web app?

If the owner CAN'T edit, how can he give the owner role to others in team?

I have been the board owner, but I gave my owner role to another team member - external facilitator for our company. But it seems the external facilitator can’t edit because of the license issue. How can I get the owner role back?  the external facilitator had the edit right before, but now he edit role seems to be removed. How to give him the edit role?

Invited to team but unable to export frames as image

Hi,My school uses Miro, so I created a Miro account with my school email address.I was invited to join my school team and was able to edit the board but I don't have the same permissions as my team members. For example I can't export a frame as image or copy content to a different board when others are able to do this.I tried using Miro in different browsers and on a mac pc and windows pc but nothing fixes this problem.Maybe there went something wrong with my account when I created a new account with my school email addres when it was already in use? I hope you can help me solve this problem.Thanks

Guest editors

I’m new to Miro and have an Education Plan which means I ought to be able to make my board public (e.g., enable guest editors).I follow the instructions at this link but do not have the options listed on the page. When I click on Share, the only option I have is to send invites (e.g., the ‘to’ option) - but not any of the other options (so not the ‘anyone with the link’ iine).I’ve read a lot of articles on this and tried all the different sharing options but the options shown on this page are not visible to me anywhere.If anyone can help me sus out what is going on that would be really appreciated.

How to make written text bold?

I am working on my first board and I can’t seem to figure out how to make texts bold AFTER having written within the boxes. If I highlight the written text there is no option to edit, and when I use the T function I can only write new text bold, not edit my existing text. Help!

Cannot send Miro boards

Hi all, My boss recently got our team access to Miro. She sent me an invite to join (its a paid version).I created a board, and tried to share it (by using the “copy board link” button) with 2 clients. They cannot access the board without creating an account. When they created the account, Miro asked me if I wanted to send them an invite - but it looked like it was more of a permanent “invite them to our team” invite. Isn’t there a way to add them as just a guest editor?I tried to follow these instructions but my profile settings looks different (it says “Team profile and there isn’t much there) and  https://community.miro.com/ask-the-community-45/board-visibility-to-guest-invited-to-a-particular-board-3922I don’t even have the part, under the share link settings, that has the globe and has the “anyone with link” dropdown. This is what my “copy board link” settings looks like:

live duplication of text boxes / shapes?

Hello, Is there a way to link two text boxes, shapes or table fields (or suchlike), so that when you enter or edit text in one place, the same text or edits are automatically replicated in the second place?(Feel free to skip the rest and jump in directly with an answer, but if you want the long and boring reason for my question, here goes...)I have a board that is basically a mind map for a collaborative project proposal, for a big project with a lot of interconnected elements (e.g. different activities & objectives, each with associated risks & assumptions etc.). The mind map is perfect for the team of prospective project collaborators to work on and see how the whole thing will hang together. However, when we submit this to the funder, they will want a cover letter with a series of annexes that follow strict, predefined templates (logframes, risk tables and suchlike). Each of these annexes will have to combine a different set of elements from the mind map. Some elements have
