Delete or Leave Board does not work

Hey guys, unfortunately Miro counted its own templates as edited boards although I never used them. I can no longer work on my own boards as my three free boards were given to those boards. Is there a way to change/undo this? I don’t see any option to leave the board or delete them. Would be great if someone could help out.Best,Raphaela

Hello community,Our team is new to Miro and enjoy it’s many opportunities. we were wondering how a Pictorial Dictionary might look in Miro and would it be beneficial to our field workers? Has anybody thought about doing this in Miro or maybe you know of another platform that would work better? Thank you

Miro widget metadata not complete?

Hi, I’m working on a custom miro extension using javascript. It will function as a “layer” extension, something like photoshop uses to layer different edits on a photo. Miro board natively supports Bring to front and Send to back. I’m looking to apply this function to the whole layer, so for example if there were 10 widgets in a specific layer and a user brings that layer to front all widgets will be moved to front. I tried digging in miro board widget metadata but can’t find any attribute of a widget that represents bring to front or bring to back. In CSS this could be referred to as “z-index” of a object or element. Thanks for any help, alternatively is there any way to contact someone from the dev team and ask them?

Are there plans to allow non-owners to back up boards?

Hi, We just lost a couple of weeks of work as the current user isn't the board owner and couldn’t back up the board.  Unfortunately, the board crashed and despite Miro restoring their version we have still lost about 16 frames of detailed work.I know bulk or automated backups are on the cards are a common request but is there a current option or future plans to allow multiple board owners or allow Admins to back up boards that they didn’t create? Thanks Ange.

Can we continue using the board with "missing content"?

We recently got this message on our board:We’re sorry to say that some content on this board is missing due to an incident. Please, open the restored version of this board made on October 8, 2020, at 3.30 am UTC which has all the missing content recovered. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience – Miro team is fully committed to preventing such incidents from happening in the future.But actually we can’t see anything missing on the original board. Are we ok to continue using the original board instead of the restored board? We don’t want to use the restored board because it is missing a days worth of content.If so, will the yellow warning bar disappear from the original board after some time?

Many contents in restored boards are still missing

Due to this issue, Miro has created a Restored board.However, a lot of content in the Restored board has not been recovered.Within the Restored board, if we look at the Miro Bot, we will see the following text"Some of the content on your boards is temporarily missing. We will restore those boards within the next 24 to 48 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that our team is working around the clock to ensure all of the missing content is restored ASAP, and Prevent such incidents from happening in the future."Is it still up and running?Do I have to wait 24 to 48 hours?I would like to know if it is being restored or not.If it is being restored, is there any hope for further recovery?

Assigning alerts to team member

When I add a team member to a card with a date this team member does not receive any notification that he has been assigned a task in the relevant Kanban. How will this team member know that he has been allocated a task? Also we tried the @teammember attribute but it is also not working? How do I let the relevant team memebers know that they have been allocates something on the board?

Prevent other users from accidentally ungrouping image on a sticky?

I have uploaded icons from a card deck and placed those icons on sticky notes, then grouped them so that various users will be able to move the cards around. Unfortunately, merely clicking the card twice un-does the grouping and can sever the icon from the sticky.  Locking doesn’t help because locking prevents the card from being moved at all. (I want non-designers to be able to move the stickies with the image “locked” attached to it.   Is there a workaround to recommend that would allow us to retain the sticky-like appearance and drop shadow?  (My plan b is to ditch the stickies/drop shadow and to upload my icons with their own solid background.)

Maintenance Friday?

I got a notice that said Miro will be down at 1030AM Friday (Mtn Time for me) - for maintenance. They had a link for more information, which takes me to this page, which is 3 months old. https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017731393-Maintenance-Statuses Can you confirm that this will happen - and will it be within that window or is there a chance it will span outside of that window.  Wondering how much time I need to plan to be down, since I’ll have to create things in another service for that time span.Did anyone else get that message? Showed up at 705pm MTN Time (Denver, CO); as a bar across the top of the Miro app in Chrome. It is not showing now. Thanks for any help.

Saving a frame on a board as a Template

I have created a board with a frame that contains a number of artifacts.  I am able to save the frame as a template.However when I create a new board using this template I see only some of the artifacts are instantiated in the new board.When I look at the thumbnail for the template I had created it appears to have all the artifacts in the image of the thumbnail.Finally, when I save the board as a template and use that to instantiate a new board then I see no such problems.So why isn’t there symmetry in “Save as Template” feature when it comes to a frame and a board ?

Preventing Users from Creating Boards

I have the consulting license.  I have clients in teams.  Some of my clients are creating their own boards, often by accident, that as the company admin I can’t see.  Is there a way to either prevent team members from the ability to create new boards or for the company admin to see all boards. I only know the boards are there because of the count of boards in the team set up screen.

Context Menus Should agree

I have discovered that the Three-dot context menu and the mouse right-click context menu are almost, but not quite the same.  This has been confusing for me and my participants. Can we make them aligned?Specifically, you can add a comment to an item from a mouse right-click, but not from the three-dot menu.  (Images below) Can we have these menus be the same? three-dot context menuright-click context menu

Prepared content on a card/sticky note

Hi there,I am new to MIRO and was wondering whether you can help with my first workshop that I will run on MIRO :) very excited about it.I need to have some “cards” prepared that participants cannot see when we start the workshop. While we go through some theory, I want to add the cards to the board. So similar to have something appear on a powerpoint slide.Is this possible as the board owner to drag and drop prepared cards to the board? So participants only see them when the owner places them on the board.Thanks so much,Maren

Is there a way to set a view for an uploaded google sheet?

Hi,I have a table in my google sheet which fits nicely in a portrait ‘print’ view, but when I upload this to my Miro board it defaults to a landscape with lots of blank columns and then other rows now only visible if user clicks through to other pages.Can I change this, so that the view of the table is driven by my print settings in google sheet or have a way to change this within Miro itself.ThanksW

Crop/mask elements and groups

I’m using Miro for wire-framing and I want to place elements on the edges of a device frame (to indicate that there are more elements on scroll, for example.)The problem is that I can’t crop/mask the elements so the part that it is outside of the device won’t be visible…Basically I want to crop elements/groups OR to set the device as a mask layer for everything that is placed inside of it.Is there a solution for this issue?

Everything working from localhost except image widget creation.

Hi, I’m poking around the webapp- and rest-api in order to figure out if its possible to bridge Shotgun ↔ Miro for internal needs.Currently, everyting works fine with a localhost dev-server + self-signed SSL-certificates, drawer with images, javascript executing, the whole shebang. However, when trying to replicate the last part of the drag-and-drop demo and running the following code: miro.board.widgets.create({‘type’: ‘image’, url: “https://localhost.*”, x:x, y:y}) The board complains that I’ve put in the wrong address, but clicking the link in source takes me to the correct image. So I'm assuming that it looks from the ‘outside’ and therefor can’t see my dev-server. Since everything else has worked fine on local up till now I’m wondering if this can be rectified or if I’ve missed something? Running this on an internal server is an hard requirement, the service as a whole (miro) has been vetted as safe so a possible work-around would be to have them hosted by them, with the caveat th

Deleted User ends up deleting board

Hi, we’ve had one of our users deleted and it also deleted the boards that they owned. It was an important one and it doesnt appear in trash either. We’ve tried recreating the account in hopes that since its the same email, it would just reactive the deleted account (assuming deleted actually meant deactivated in the database….)Trying to reach the url doesn’t do anything either. Even the recreated account doesnt get the message about restoring the board. Is thre any way to retrieve the board?I’ve reached out for support alos by email in hopes that maybe someone can retrieve it in the database or something… It’d be nice if a deleted users board would just get “reassigned” or get asked to reassign to someone through a popup or something….

Connect incognito to real names (guest use)

Hi Miro community!I do many Miro Workshops with participants who receive the link as a guest and do not have their own account. As soon as they get on the board, they get an Incognito name. Is there any way to assign names to them so that everyone can give themselves their own name? Thanks for your help!
