Over lapping acounts

I have an account that I use for teaching with the Boston Architectural College.This has worked so well that I am testing it for our office under a separate email. ktornow@fishbrook.com.Twice now I have created a new board for the office or one for the the school and consequently the two accounts affect each other. Three valuable boards have now been lost that took time to set up when the boards created in one account show up in the other and knock out the other board I made. One had all the student projects.This is incredibly frustrating and makes no sense.I need to know that this can be fixed or I will have to stop using Miro.

Change font on Mind Map or sticky notes?

Hi everyone,I recently started using Miro and I’m really liking it! One thing that puzzles me is the lack of font support/customisation.Long shot, but does anyone know if there is a way to change the font on elements such as Mind Map and sticky notes? It seems I’m stuck with Open Sans on these.I would expect that the feature of changing the font would apply to all elements available, not just text box, so that our Miro boards can look consistent in style.Hopefully better font control is on the roadmap? Many thanks

Plain, Blank Whiteboard

How do I use Miro as just a plain, blank whiteboard?I’m new to it and have spent several hours now looking for just the whiteboard feature sans all the fancy shapes, templates, stickies, etc. I just want a plain whiteboard that I can draw on. What “button” or setting lets me do that?

Using Miro Boards with Academy Members

Summary: I have a use case in which I’m trying to figure out the workflow, perhaps the community can assist. I have an academy of 700 students in which I want to use miro boards to teach.There will be a main board which will have comments activated and they can view videos. I want to allow the students to download or use the board as a template of their own so they can make custom edits for their own learning as they follow along with the tutorials. (not collaborative) This template board will be a tool for them as they learn but also a resource they can use for support in the future. It’s important that each student works on their own board in their own miro account. Problem: I have tried to share boards but the students do not have the ability to save a board to their own miro account for editing. I do not want to add each student as a team member for I don’t think this is a very cost effective way to use miro.  I have saved boards to my account from other boards I found in the learn

Classroom participation without saving changes

I am trying to move an analog exercise into Miro. The goal is to have a classroom full of people look at 75 pictures and then sort them in to different categories. IRL, we do this on a table with printed pictures. Online, I’d like to:Send each student a password protected invitation link. (I know how to do this) Each student should see the 75 images and then be able to move them into categories on Miro boards. (I know how to do this). I want each student to be able to save their own edited boards without it impacting the other class participants (ex: if I move 5 images into a category, I don’t want other students to see that movement).  And when the students exit, I would like to ensure it can go back to the original layout. I currently have a PDF solution with checkboxes (instead of of moving images around) that we use online. I’d like to make it more intuitive and fun. Any ideas or suggestions? thanks!

Exporting board as vector (SVG)

Miro has been valuable to get some ideas down, but I’m starting to come up to some limitations that cannot be easily overcome or worked around; especially when working with outside organizations that are locked into their own stack, such as o365.In particular, I need to be able to export my board in a more vendor-neutral/open-standard format, such as an SVG, so that I can pull in it to other stacks, such as OneNote. (CSV is kinda useless)How can I achieve this? (simple C&P doesn’t work)I’ve tried exporting as a PDF and printing from the browser, but all I get is a embedded bitmap/raster.Does the export at HQ PDF export it as vector?

When you paste a website in Miro, what determines the information displayed.

This is what is captured when I copied a Miro url and pasted it into a board. Some url’s do not include the image. How can I control what this information is?

How can I add link to local files in Miro App?

We have a lot of documentation in OneNote. To use Miro we need ability to add link to that files.For example link “onenote:///D:\DESKTOP\@ProjectA.one#Тест&section-id={F27F371C-EF84-4F6F-BEB2-3963D9CD520B}&page-id={03669E05-74F0-4DE8-9518-BC64E474D62B}&object-id={7D497E49-CFF6-054D-1FA9-087023A16B29}&11”If we use such link we have got an error like How can we use links to local files?

Lasso selects object not within the lasso area (including items that are far away). Anyone else having this issue?

The lasso tool will grab object not within the lasso outline. Sometimes, it will even grab objects that are far away from the outline. For example, it grabbed an object that was two items from the lasso area (but not the item right next to the area).  For example, imagine going from left to right:  Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D. All items are separated and not overlapping.  I lasso Item C and Item D, but the lasso also includes Item A.  Item B is left alone as it should be. This doesn’t cause me major problems as I usually just cntl+click items I want to group. More of a curiosity.

Is there a way to automatically load JIRA relationships (eg. "blocks", "depends on", etc.) into Miro?

Being able to import existing Jira cards into Miro, as well as creating/editing Jira cards from within Miro is a really awesome feature. One thing that’s missing for me is the ability to visualise and/or manage relationships between Jira cards from within Miro (and ideally visualise them as “connecting arrows” between cards in a miro board). Is anything like this possible?

Education Plan Seats

Hi All,I have just joined with Education Plan. I’m confused by the number of seats? If, for example, I allocate a seat to a student (leaving me with 99 seats available and 1 seat used) and then remove that student from the seat, will it then return to 100 seats available and 0 used?Thanks in advance.

This happens for all various elements I try to copy.How can this problem be solved. Is there a setting which was by accident triggered which could have caused this?Thanks!

Can I make files (uploaded on a board) not downloadable to invited members?

Hi there!  I’m creating a board for my clients (I’m about to upgrade to the “consultant” subscription). Board will have some pre-uploaded content (images or videos) for them to move around, and use for their activity.  I wish though to make these files NOT DOWNLOADABLE to anyone who is invited to the board.  Is this possible? This would be essential for me.  thank you in advance for your help :)   may the force be with you

Freezing parts of your board

I am new to Miro and would appreciate any advice on how to freeze sections of my board? For instance where I have created a box and team members have posted several post-it-notes into nit, but now I want to move the whole thing to another part of the board how do I do this as just 1 frame rather than having to move each individual component part? Thanks.
