Is it possible to merge multiple cells in a Miro Grid?

If we could merge cells in a Miro Grid then we could make a flexible canvas eg Business Model Canvas that can grow or shrink as required to so that any cell can be resized to accomodate the sticky notes associated with that cell, without having to manually rearrange the rest of the canvas.

Widget Dimensions

When retrieving all the widgets for a board, you appear to get the x and y but the width and height is not set or is missing. For assets like the AWS icons there isn’t even a reference to the icon being used for the widget that I can see? I am trying to create a tool that will update the board by placing tickets around a given widget on the board. I have done this fine with Draw.io because the position and dimensions of each object is available, but with the miro api those values appear to be missing? Hopefully this is just user error and any guidance would be appreciated

How do I change which boards are inactive?

I have a free plan, which includes three active boards for my team.  I want to change which of the boards in our workspace are the active ones, but I can’t seem to do that.  How do I change the status so the board I don’t need any longer is the inactive one?  It was created by another user in my workspace who is just a member, not an admin, but that board is being set as active instead of one I created as an admin.

Can external links open a new tab in my browser instead of new window?

Hello, When I add external links they always open in a new window (with no toolbar). Could they open instead in a new tab in my browser? That would make it a lot more user friendly.  Thanks in advance, Poli

JIRA and Planning Poker Integration

Good morning. I am trying to find out about the level of integration Miro has with JIRA and planning poker, specifically as to how much can be automated e.g. pulling in stories that are of a certain status, point a story, then automatically update the relevant JIRA story with the relevant number of points. I’ve seen there is JIRA cards integration, but my question, is that in using planning poker, would there still be a manual element to pick the stories from JIRA that need to be pointed, and once the pointing has occurred, we would then need to manually update the JIRA story by clicking on its card? Anybody have any experience with the JIRA integration that would be able to answer this one? Many thanks

Understanding Team plan

Hi all  Since the community answers so fast and on-point, I hereby present another confusion :)  I have recently purchased team license.  I concluded that the Team Program suits our company well. However, I might have understood things a bit differently. I presumed I can have 8 “teams” – meaning 8 segregated teams on the left bar. To each, I can open project, and within them – boards. However, when I try to open a new team, I get prompted to upgrade my license – although of course, I already have it.    Did I get the plan wrong? Why can’t I add teams after 2? And if these are not “teams” – did I get the videos wrong ?   Thanks for your time, dear community!  Eyal

Left the "company" lost my boards

OK, I assume this was a rookie mistake, but I left my “not really” company and bought the consultant plan.  I then see all my boards have disappeared - not those from others in the company, but the dozens that I created.   This is a kind of urgent problem for my upcoming classes.   It sounds like Miro support isn’t very quick at responding right now - any advice?  Can you “rejoin” the company as a workaround? Thanks!

Agile Sprint Planning for Community/Social Media

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday :)  I've been tasked to create/help manage our social media strategy/planning for our events and for our social media ambassadors/miro champions. I know a bit about social media marketing/strategy but am a novice when it comes to agile sprint planning. Does anyone have any resources and/or tips and tricks on doing agile sprint planning for community?   From what I’ve seen online, most discussion and templates have seem especially oriented towards design and/or otherwise seem a bit more complicated than what’s necessary for us - as we’re a small team. I would love to connect and discuss ideas! Best, Natalie

Basic question - frames and shapes

Hello, I am a new user and trying to replicate the look of the icebreaker activity that shows up in https://go.miro.com/online-workshops.  There is an opaque “shape” or “frame” with sticky notes inside it. I do not really understand the organization or hierarchies [or even vocabulary] yet — but I must accelerate quickly! — and so I cannot tell if the object on which the stickers are sitting is a frame, shape or something else.  If there is any documentation anywhere about the basic organization of Miro, I’d welcome knowing that too. Is the entire “space” of a miro project 1 “board”? 1 whiteboard with as many boards as you’d like?? This is new to me, so thanks for patience with the basics.   One more basic question for use on a desktop with a touchpad. Moving around is not intuitive either, at least yet. Is there a tutorial on this? To say this is frustrating doesn’t really get at the emotion...

How to get email address of non_team role member via the API

I'm using the api to query user member and non_team member information.  I'm trying to get the email address of a non_team member.   I use https://api.miro.com/v1/teams/$teamID/user-connections  to get a list of all users.    I then call https://api.miro.com/v1/users/$userId using the userID from the Team User Connection Object.   Problem When I call the users endpoint for a user in the "non_team" role, I get a 404 not found.    Question How do I programmatically get the email address of non_team_members?   If this is not possible, is it on the product roadmap and when is it scheduled for release?   thanks

How to drag participants to the frames in the Presentation Mode?

Hi all, Being the workshop facilitator, we activate the presentation modus (as explained in the webinar and other Miro instructions), but our participants (guests) are still able to do changes in the frames and are still in working modus. As such, they're not dragged to the presentation modus even if we push ‘bring to me’. Anyone who might know what could be the problem? Thanks a lot, EB

Voting - Way to indicate preference on multiple votes?

Using the Voting Plugin, is there a way for users to indicate their preference among the multiple votes they cast?  For example, can a user indicate that 1 vote is their 1st choice and another vote is their 2nd choice?  If the plugin doesn’t support that directly, would it be possible to accomplish the same thing using multiple voting sessions, maybe concurrent ones? Thanks!

[RESOLVED] PDFs have gone missing from my boards

Hello wonderful Miro community, The PDFs I have uploaded to boards have all gone missing. It’s a bit of a problem for me as these are images that workshop participants used to make decisions. I can see that they are still there when the boards load, but are greyed out, then disappear. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you resolve it? Thanks.

Voting on the Mobile

I recemtly ran a workshop with 30 ppl and they were all using their mobile. When I created a voting session they were unable to see that on their mobile and after having several tries I had to resort to manually counting hands. I never thought to test that feature on mobile as it works on desktop.   Has anyone else experienced this?

Free plan includes anonymous collaboration (or not?)

Hi, I heard at weekend that the free plan would now support anonymous collaboration and even saw a screenshot. I downloaded the windows 64-bit Miro version, but still canot see that functionality. Is it released. It is fantastic news for working with non-profits and community groups. Thanks, Jean

IDEA: Provide flexible colors for widgets

We would like to brand the look & feel of the canvas by using our own color schema (e.g. for background, stickies, shapes). Unfortunately, today, the API rejects any other color than the 12 predefined ones. PS: The example in the API Explorer doesn’t work because it uses invalid color #ff00ff (https://developers.miro.com/reference#create-board-widgets).

API Roadmap - ie for other widget types (preview)

There are currently only a few limited type of widgets that the REST API is able to create. I need to create preview type widgets in particular - and they are read only. Is there any type of roadmap, for the API? I’d like to have some idea what is on the priority list in terms of new features to the API in the future? Is there another way to pre-populate a Miro Board with a map of preview objects linked to cards?
