The authentication for Miro is possibly the worst experience I've ever had

Miro’s authentication feels like it’s trying to be more secure than my bank, and no, that’s not a compliment.It seems like I have to re-authenticate every other day. Check out the frequency of Google Enterprise accounts for example, miro should NOT be more frequent than that. When I click on a link, and have to re-authenticate, the default is to create a new account. I just clicked on a miro link that someone shared, there’s 90% chance there that the majority of people already have an account and want to just sign in. I sign in with my browser because it doesn’t open the desktop app, but then it loads, so it loads the desktop app, but the desktop app can’t authenticate itself, so it opens a browser page to authenticate, but then after that, it goes back to the desktop app and leaves the tab open. This is ridiculous. The authentication token should be system wide and if I have the desktop app installed, it should default to opening there first if possible, but at the very least, if all

Breakout Frames

In the breakout frames, it would be good to have a feature to prevent participants to edit until they joined a breakout frame.

Button which automatically goes to another part of the board ?

I would like to add more details on a process mapping. So, it would be really nice for me to click on the process title to access to the sub-processes. Is it possible to have this kind of button on Miro ?

Its a bug? - Forced pencile draw mode

I use miro quite often on my tablet. Since one of the newer updates, Miro automatically switches back to the drawing tool when I use my samsung pen, but I don't want to do that and it completely hinders my workflow. You can't turn this function off either.Is this a bug or is it supposed to be a feature?

Can't Add Activity to Swimlane

I’ve searched for an answer but there doesn’t seem to be one.I’m having a problem adding an activity to a swimlane. I’ve done numerous process diagrams with swimlanes but this particular one is being a bit of a diva. It is refusing to add any more UML diagram components into the swimlanes. I can select a pre-defined activity, for example within the frame (but not on the swimlanes) and can drag it to where I want it. When I let go of the mouse button, the activity returns to its original place within the frame, outside the swimlanes. The swimlane is not locked. I’m baffled! Does anyone have any clever ideas?

Mobile app usage - editing data inside cells of a table

Dear User community, I am sure that we have more users out there that have faced the problem on the mobile app that it is not possible to edit the data inside the cells of a table. I see that over a year ago this topic was added to wish-list: https://community.miro.com/ideas/edit-tables-on-mobile-app-5845 Has anybody found some workarounds (different feature to use for a table) - to allow users to edit data from the mobile app?

There is too much padding in text boxes

The padding in text boxes prevents true-alignment to the text. There is always an indentation and it forces me to to custom align every object to the edge of the letter instead of the text box.

Can you move text for a BPMN object (e.g. decision)

For a BPMN decision (diamond) adding text to the shape appears below it.Sometimes I want the text to be inside the shape, or to the right, so that a connector can descend down from the shape without overlapping the text. Like this  The best I can do seems to be to right align the text. which is still pretty ugly. Workaround is to add text not attached to the object.  Kinda lame but works.   Are there any other options I’m not seeing? Peter

Splitting Development and QA in Estimation App

I am familiar with the estimation app in Miro… however, we set our tickets up to split out Development Points and QA points and they automatically add up to the total story points in Jira. Is it possible in the estimation app in Miro to gather 2 estimates for the same ticket (1 for Dev and 1 for QA)? I can do this manually obviously, but would rather have it integrated if possible.

BUG REPORT FAILED SYNCH

(really annoying) BUG REPORT:miro let‘s you edit a board without telling you it‘s not connected - hence, SO MANY TIMES you edit something on the board and suddenly it says… „wait for the board to synch“.. which is ALWAYS a recipe for changes lost. This is SO ANNOYING, please fix this.We really love miro at work otherwise, but this bug makes many of us prefer other tools over miro for collaborative and/or live work, which is a shame…

Miro Web SDK REST API -> Where do I store Authentication Data

I have created a Miro app and what pretty much does is that it creates Microsoft To Do Items from Miro Cards using the Graph API and specifically several Microsoft To Do Endpoints in there. My app makes use of both the Miro REST API and the Graph REST API by Microsoft. For both I need a client secret, a refresh token and an auth token to authenticate against these apis. My plan is to use service account on the Microsoft side and another service account on the Miro side (Or actually user accounts).Since the app is built using React and Typescript (As done in one of Miro´s tutorials) I have different options to store Auth Data. I of course don´t want to do that in plain text inside my application. How should I approach this? Should I use a database or a .env file? I am happy about any suggestions and answers. :)

Interactive table with server connection

Hi, Looking around on the forum I could not find an answer to my question, so allow me to explain. For multiple groups of users we want to use miro boards for guiding their projects. In each step of the project, some data needs to be updated in a central database, to track the progress of the different projects. Since having all information in one place is benificial, we would like to have an interactive (excel-like) table, that on opening of the Miro board loads data from a (company) server, and allows people to enter/change information in the table. The information should then be updated on the server.Is this possible, even in a non-native way? If anything about my question is unclear, feel free to ask for more details.

Can I use an external database to populate a Miro map?

I have a client who is looking to build a series of career maps, showcasing the relationships between and occupational data for some 60+ occupations. That number will grow over time, and each occupation will also undergo continuous updates. They’d ideally like to store all occupational data in a database that then integrates with Miro to write the occupational data into specific map objects. One of the developer forum posts I saw said that Miro maps cannot be powered/populated by external databases, but I wanted to confirm that and see if anything has since changed. Thanks!
