Simple way to copy elements from one board to another

I have seen many posts about “how to copy paste elements from one board to another”.   Let’s start with, I am on the business account, and I own both boards.  A simple, highlight all, and then do a classic “copy/paste” and it fails every time in which it pasts a link to the board and not the Chart or image I want to bring over...such as a simple template that I don’t want to set as a template.I am using Chrome, and have been unable to find how to install the Plug-in that that everyone references to.  Can anyone post a link here how to set up my Miro account or board with the ability to do a very simple “Highlight, copy, paste” and then all the items copy over to my other board.    From a user experience perspective, this is quite frustrating. Thanks so much for the help and guidance.

Sticky note instancing

I often use sticky notes to keep track of tasks. As such I would duplicate these sticky notes from a pool of tasks and place them accordingly (to other people, dates etc.) I’ve created color codes for these sticky notes to indicate their status. Everything in this case is working quite well, but it would be nice that when a copy of these sticky notes are updated, it would reflect on the original sticky note, so that I would not have to go back and update. Not a big deal to go back and change it, but it would remove that extra step.

Connect Miro with Jira

Can Miro be linked with the On prem version of Jira? I recently joined my organization as an RTE and looking to link Jira with Miro which doesn't seem to exist as of now. If the answer to the first question is yes, then how can I do it?

Can't upload file using SDK

I used the app SDK quickstart to make an app. Up until an hour ago, it was working. Then the file input stopped working. I haven’t touched this part of the code (to my knowledge) and the file select input event handler is not triggering at all. I have the following code:app.jsdocument.getElementById('csvFileInput').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);function handleFileSelect(event) { console.log('file'); const file = event.target.files[0]; if (file) { const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = function(e) { const contents = e.target.result; const rowsArr = processCSV(contents); buildGraph(rowsArr); }; }}...app.html<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <script src="https://miro.com/app/static/sdk/v2/miro.js"></script> <title>My App</title> </head&g

Azure Cards

Hello! I use the Azure cards integration with Miro. I’m trying to size all of the Azure cards the same in Miro, however have noticed that on some cards the font size of the title will shrink to display more of the title than others. Does anybody know how I can size Azure cards the same but have the font size of the title shrink to display the whole title?

Error when using Airtable (and other npm packages) with create-miro-app React Typescript

No file name prompt when exporting a board as a pdf or vector graphic (also a pdf)

When I attempt to export a board as a vector image, I see the attached image for about 20 seconds before it disappears. There is no dialog box to rename or save the expected pdf file.

In-App updates

 I thought that you had a “what’s new” in-app menu.  I got an email with what’s new in 2023 and it was impressive.  It would be better to have it in the app (especially since you crank out a steady stream of new features.I can’t find itSorry if I’m confusing you with another application.

Is there a way to force 100% zoom based on the current size of objects?

I have noticed that some boards are created with objects size, especially text, adjusted to a zoom level different than 100%. Is there a way to force it to be 100% based on the current size of objects? So, let's say I am content with the size of objects and want to force the zoom to be 100%. In other words, I want the objects to be shown in their current size after I adjust the zoom to 100%.

Text in Miro Iconfinder searchbar reverses itself

I googled by didn’t find the answer to this - sometimes when I search for an icon on Miro, the text I enter is reversed. For example, if I try and type the word ‘navigate’, it will show in the textbox as ‘etagivan’. It is baffling. Has anyone come across this, and if so, how do I make it behave normally?

2 issues with Powerpoint to Miro

My first issue is with importing a powerpoint presentation into a Miro board for presentation.  i drag and drop the pptx file, then extract the slides.  The slides come over with words overlapping, in different places than they were on the original, and the pictures sometimes have what look like smears or lines and smudges of colour in them.The 2nd Issue is that when I attempt to delete the slide in Miro and copy and paste the individual slide from the powerpoint presentation it is blurry once in Miro.

How to group board widgets with Javascript with method

While browsing the Miro documentation I found some information about widget grouping: https://developers.miro.com/docs/interface-igroup  This was sort of helpful, it shows me the parameters that are needed for a widget group but it doesn’t include a method which can be called to create a widget group. There is a GET method to get a widget group but I can’t find any further documentation on widget grouping, are there any other resources in the documentation?

Is there a way to make objects into groups via SDK?

I currently am making an app that has cards that you can move around inside the board, and just want one SVG image of the card and have text that I can change since the messages can be changed from time to time, and making hundreds of SVG images with different text is not exactly ideal.   So I want to be able to create and image object and group it up with text, so I can drag the card around and have both image and text intact.

Custom action query for exactly two elements

Dear Miro team, [Reposting https://community.miro.com/ask-the-community-45/custom-action-query-for-exactly-two-elements-15250?tid=15250&fid=45]I wanted to ask if it is possible to create a custom action for an exact number of elements, e.g. when exactly two frames are selected.  Currently if I’m specifying ‘multi’ the action is also shown when a single element is selected, or more than 2. Thank you!

NEW: Stable release of group and ungroup methods in Web SDK

Hey everyone!We're excited to share that we've released two new methods in the Web SDK which can be used to group and ungroup items programmatically. With this stable release, you can now use the miro.board.group and group.ungroup methods to manage items, respectively.Example of grouping items and adding them to a frameconst shape = await miro.board.createShape()const card = await miro.board.createCard()const text = await miro.board.createText()const items = [shape, card, text]const group = await miro.board.group({items})const frame = await miro.board.createFrame();// shape, card and text will also be added to the frame// you can check their parentId property after this operationawait frame.add(group)Groups do not support the following capabilities:Mind maps Tags MetadataFor more details on these new methods, refer to our documentation on group and ungroup methods in the Web SDK.

How to I get the highest possible safety guarantee that I will never loose my boards

Hello I love Miro and I am using it to plan the shooting of my first feature film. I am currently using the free version and am okay with the current features for now, but one extremely important aspect for me is corruption (etc) -safety.It would be a disaster for me if I lost acces to my ever growing, comprehensive boards.- Either because of corruption, accidental deletion, or due to something in my or miro’s end.How to I gain maximum protection from this? How to I get the highest possible safety guarantee that I will never loose my boards. Does the paid versions help with that?ps.Also I would love to be able to work offline.

Really need to add the Save offline feature

Everything in Miro right now feels great, no complaints at all, except not being able to save offline as well. Recently we’ve been having intermitent connection where I am, I’m sure it happens to many of us, and it will continue to be a problem the more users you have. It would really be great if you could add that feature which is something most of us would expect of any software these days, even if the Cloud save works great.  Thanks a million and best wishes!

I would like to import data from other Mind map tools.

Same as other Mind Map tool like MindMeister, MindManager, XMind and Freemind, I would like Miro to allow import their format. Basically, I use another mindmap tools because of rich UI. And my company only allow us to use Miro. Then, I would like to export mindmap data from mindmeister and import it by Miro.The best way is to improve UX in Miro. But I think it is not that easy. Then, I would like to accept the format.

[RESOLVED] Remove Jira Cards app integration

The “add to Jira” button on the toolbar is very prominent. It seems odd that there’s no way to remove it. For groups that never use Jira it’s a distraction. We work with a lot of novice Miro users, and anything that creates more UI noise is problematic.  maybe this is a case of Miro’s team listening mostly to users who are like them (that is, use the tools they use?) I have to think there are lots of other Folks facilitating workshops with Miro who have no use for this.  please allow us to remove this.

Leaving Miro for good ... lack of support for simple things like cut and paste

It is 2024 -- and Miro cannot parse Word formatting and paste things correctly. This is ungodly. Cut and Paste from other apps is a built in hindrance forcing you to stay in Miro -- and it is an awful user experience. Table management and office application integration is horrid. We will be leaving soon.
