Importing an Excel file as live data

Is there a way to upload or paste an Excel document into a miro board so that it displays live data? In other words, i can see the tables and graphs in miro without having to click a link, yet if I make changes to the Excel file off-line, these changes will show up automatically in miro when I open the board again.

Use basic formulas within tables

I would like the ability to run basic formulas like SUM, AVERAGE, etc within a table. I want to use Miro for our Real Estate projects, to understand the processes, staff and costs involved. We will use tables a lot, but currently we see that we can’t create basic SUM formulates of cells.

How to save a board?

This is sooooooo basic but a massive oversight @Miro.  After wasting  at least an hour I can find NO REFERENCE ANYWHERE on how to save a board.  I guessed maybe autosave, closed down the tab and now my board is NOWHERE to be found.  This is so basic it’s ridiculous - where is the save button and where do boards get saved to / retrieved from?????  Not happy.

Import from Lucidchart?

Is there a way to easily import a diagram (flow chart) from Lucid chart to Miro? All the seemingly relevant options I see where export (Lucid) and import (Miro) match are for single layer images. I have a pretty complicated diagram in Lucid that I need in Miro and don’t want to have to recreate it from scratch.

How do I organise my post-its based on tags and then organise each group into rows and columns of post-its?

I have over 300 post-its randomly scattered over my miro board. The post its have different colours and tags (13 tags). Firstly, I want to separate these post-its based on their tags and then organise each group of post-its into rows and columns (post-its evenly spaced out from each other instead of randomly spaced out)

Wacom compatibility

Firstly in many ways Miro is a game changer - and has all sorts of interesting possibilities. So well done! That said, it would seem to me that Miro would work best with a Wacom pen. But the combination does not seem to be seamless! Issues:When using a mouse. All the icons on the left are accessable. But when using the wacom pen, 3 things are not accessable (i) it is not possible to switch to the eraser. (ii) It is not possible to change pen colour (iii) In an options window, it is not possible to click the X to leave (though using the upper button as a right click seems to work). There is no function to vary line thickness to pen widthSupport for these two things would make a big difference. I’m using a standard Windows 10 PC with a Wacom Intuos pro pen and tablet.

How to determine where a user enters a board

We’ve created this great flow to walk people through on our board. I would like people to enter at the beginning and not just to a random place or seeing the whole board. How might I do that? Thanks in advance!

Privacy and GDPR

Hello, We have a few question on GDPR and DPA (Data processing agreement). The US-EU privacy shield has been invalidated recently by the EU court of justice. Unfortunately, in your DPA you are still referring to this shield… but even more than this, in its decision, the European court of justice imposes the Data processors to indicate which supplementary measures are taken to ensure a good level of data protection next to the SCC. We tried to contact your DPO at privacy@miro.com to discuss this as it’s not mentioned in your online documentations but we still have no reply so far. Could someone support us here as it’s important to be GDPR compliant. Many thanks for your support!

Frame around frames?

Is it possible to add a frame around several other frames to make them a sort of collection and then be able to move just the outer frame? Running a series of workshops, I would like to put a big frame around one lot of workshop frames so they can all be easily moved around, categorised with a title etc. but still on the same board if I want to reference them, and not locked or in a group as I may want to access individual frames for moving. Hope this makes sense - I know you can put a frame around them but the outer frame moves without picking up the inner frames.

Resize multiple shapes to the same size (not stickies)

Hi, is there a way for me to resize multiple shapes to the same size? We didn’t think through our process thoroughly enough at the start, and now have 1000+ shapes that need to be resized to the same size for clarity.  If there is no feature for it, is there a way to script it? I’ve done similar scripts for illustrator but don’t know how I would go about running them within Miro.
