I want to do the exact opposite of this request: https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/mind-map-convert-nodes-to-sticky-notes-cards-1832 I love brainstorming with Notes/Comments. I can create Notes in bulk (or not) and not have to make a decision where they live. I get to rearrange once I get them on the board. Then I might want to create a hierarchy of those notes, such as building a Work Breakdown Structure, etc. It would be helpful to drag a note onto the end of a node of a mindmap (to expand the map). Ideally there would be some way to keep the comment attached.
How can I insert an intermediate step in a mindmap? I already have a wide map with various branches now I like to subdivide and insert a subtopic. The image shows exemplary my problem. One annoying approach would be to create a new branch and write each step again… I guess you have some smarter solution? I appreciate your comments and support.
In mind mapping template, I created a flow and when i move one object, the other moves automatically. Cannot find a way to prevent it.
Hi all! I really like the freedom of mind mapping in Miro. The fact that I can nearly through any file type on my board and connect everything together the way I want it is great for creative research. However, sometime I need some structured mind maps too. Hence, I use the Miro mind mapping tool. And there it is too basic. There isn’t even the option to make organigram style mind maps? What about adding icons to the subject boxes? Maybe I missed the purpose of this tool and I am open to learn more on how I could do replicate mind maps the way I would build them in XMind or MindManager. Thanks! Tom
Hi i have used other mindmap apps but miro is more than a mindmap app so I am gonna use miro, but i have so many mindmaps in other platforms. My question is; is there Is there any way to uploading other mindmap formats to miro
Mind Map how can you assign a task/ due date to a team member?
Cardsy Easily generate cards in bulk from selected widgets on your Miro boards. We all love Miro, and I wanted to repay Miro somehow for providing such an amazing product. So I made a plugin which is gonna be lot of use to me. Do check it out maybe it might save some of your time as well. I would appreciate any kind feedback.😊 Use case You have filled your board with your precious ideas in various widgets like Text, Sticky, or Shapes. Now, you want to take advantages of Miro cards properties like assigning a date (could be a deadline) assigning a team member writing detailed description use them in your Kanban framework. Steps to use:- Select some widgets from your board Click on the plugin icon in bottom bar of the board. Done! All the cards are created with their title from the selected widget’s content. You can freely use this quick plugin I made by adding to your Miro board. Add Cardsy to your board
Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was a way that i am able to have the nodes extending from all 4 sides of the centre not just two? Thank you!
Hi. I have a lot of problems with a big mind map – about 250 presentation frames and more than 1000 different objects. It’s so hard to change/add something and not to break other frames. Each, even relatively small movement of object will also change position of other objects – and in most of the cases also move it away from their frames. I tried to lock those objects, but it did not help. Even blocked object will be moved. BTW. The locking mechanism doesn’t work when I select more than one object. I also tried just reduce the closeness of my objects – it helped but not fully. Is it possible to somehow solve my problems?How do you work with such maps?
Hi friends, Currently I am using EdrawMind from Wondershare for mind mapping. What is the way around to use those files on miro? Those are getting uploaded as images and not mind map files. Appreciate your help! Regards, V

Hi all, My spacing is way too wide on my mind map. When I try to manually resize, it auto-corrects itself to where it was before. I am not sure how to make the spacing smaller. Any ideas? TIA The desired spacing option What I have now
Hi all, I’m a knowledge worker. While looking for a good tool to build my Personal Knowledge System (aka Second Brain), someone suggested Miro. I’ve searched a lot, but I wasn’t able to find any use cases related to Academic Research or similar jobs. I see Miro is mainly used for UX Design, meetings and similar. I wonder if and how I could use Miro for complex knowledge, often related to projects. I ask because I’m a visual guy, I really love mind maps, and I see being text only only takes so far when it’s time to learn.
Hi all, I really like Miro, and I think it would be the right App for me, but I’m concerned about the future. When I go to a platform I always check for what I call “exit plan”: what if I exited tue platform in tue future? Now, Miro has few exporting options that make us locked in. For example, the mind maps have no outline or OPML options. That is, mind map is very basic about the options. How do you manage it?
Hi I’m a long term mindmapper. Thrilled to see Mindmapping in Miro and want to use it. Has anyone found a way to use it to create Business Book Outlines or Structures? This is one I created in MindManager - its great as a stand alone but has very limited team and sharing functionality. Miro is much better at that. But so far I can only find ‘tree’ or left to right branching map formats. Anyone managed to create a map like this top down one in Miro? Thank you. Mindmanager top down book structure
Love using Miro,I know we can export to excel, however is there a way to convert a mind map to an outline editable text view? Like how transno can convert list view into a mind map and vice versa.
This is probably the only template I use other tools for still, every time I think I would like to use Miro for all my workshopping, the mindmap gets in the way. The main areas where I feel restricted are: Ability to change shapes & their styles Ability to add labels on the lines Ability to position things the way I would like, for example, the start of the mind map is never centered, always towards the top which looks completely off Future: Mindmap clusters with labels - kind of doable now but it does not move along with the mindmap Please improve this much needed feature!
Hi this is a pre sales question as I’m loving mind map but there is one issue that is blocking me us using it for our company, how is it possible to move a node in mind map on iOS (or any tablet)? All of the online resources completely skip the fact there is no keyboard to hold down the control key when using an iPad etc, so the documented method of being able to move items around in a mind map appears to be impossible on a tablet? This seems really odd as it would be simple to add a touchscreen button or option to enable the same functionailty as if a keyboard CTRL key was held as you drag, but after a great deal of time searching and trying to find a way it appears to be impossible? Is this the case? If so it breaks a crucial feature of mind map and means we can’t adopt it
Hey Community, I am coming from Xmind and switched to Miro for its collaboration geature. One thing I miss is the ability to export a mindmap with the tabulation that would illustrate the different relationships. I only experienced the CSV which is quite tedious as it puts everything on the same line. Is there a way to achieve that, or maybe a place somewhere in the backlog ;-)
I am a paid user, but cannot lock a mind map. I can lock individual items in the mind map but not able to lock the entire map. The lock option appears for me, but nothing happens when I click on the padlock icon. Thanks.
With Miro mind map, you can apply the world-recognized diagram tool to visually organize your content hierarchically. Available on:browser version, Desktop app, Tablet app, Mobile app (limited functionality) How to create a Miro mind map From the Creation toolbar Using Miro AI Find Mind map on the Creation toolbar. For your convenience, you can drag the icon to your toolbar.Mind map on the toolbar Select Mind map and click anywhere on the board to add the parent node - the starting point of your mind map. The plus signs on each side of it will prompt where you can start branches and create child nodes. You can create a vertical or a horizontal mind map.Creating a parent node and starting a horizontal mind map Use the following shortcuts to speed up the creation process: Returnto create a sibling node and start editing it right away Shift + Return to break lines inside a node Tab to create a new child node Arrows to move between nodes Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V (on Windows)/ Cmd + C and Cmd + V (on Mac) to duplicate a node Escape to exit the editing mode Delete to delete the whole node Ctrl (on Windows)/Cmd (on Mac) (hold) to stop auto-reassign You can select and drag the nodes to change their position on the canvas. Create the root node and populate it with content. Click the Miro AI icon. Click Generate mind map.Your mind map will be placed on the board around your root node. You can optionally keep, retry, or discard your mind map. Continue to edit your mind map to suit your needs. Miro AI offers other methods for creating a mind map, including Expand with questions, Expand with ideas, and Expand with topics. To learn more about Miro AI, see the section "Mind Maps with AI" in Overview of Create and Edit with AI. Working with mind maps You can add as many nodes to your mind map as you like. You can move the nodes around to suit your needs, or use auto layout for a clean look. You can also reassign child nodes to other parent nodes, or delete nodes altogether. Moving, resizing, adding, deleting nodes As you rearrange nodes in your mind map, all child nodes will automatically align. This is because auto layout is turned on by default.To turn auto layout on or off, click the parent node, and in the context menu toggle auto layout. Using auto layout to align changes to nodes When auto layout is turned off, you can still align all your child nodes. After you’ve finished organizing your mind map, click the parent node, then click the three dots (...) in the context menu and select Layout nodes. To reassign a child node to another parent node, simply drag the node. ✏️ Hold down Ctrl (for Windows)/Cmd (for Mac)if you'd like to move the node instead of reassigning it. Reassigning a node Use nodes linking to show dependencies between ideas in your mind map when visualizing complex concepts. Nodes linking You can also change your mind map's size by selecting it and dragging the white dot. Changing mind map's size To add text to a node, double-click it. ✏️ Use Shift + Return to break lines inside a node. To create a bullet-list in a node, type - and press the spacebar. To create a numbered list, type 1. at the beginning of a line.To create a bullet list starting from the second (or third/fourth/etc.) line, create a new line with Cmd + Enter (for Mac) or Ctrl + Enter (for Windows). Inserting additional text into a node To delete a node, press Delete or click three dots on the context menu and choose Delete. The node will be deleted along with all the child nodes. Deleting a node ⚠️ Mind map nodes can't be locked and grouped. Formatting mind map elements You can choose the style for your mind map (the nodes can either use curved or straight lines) and change the orientation. And if you want your mind map to look colorful and bright, use Randomize tool. Style of your mind map Since the main component of every mind map is text, you can apply different text styling options in its shortened version. Please note that to preserve the visual consistency of the mind map, changing the text size in the parent node will affect the whole mind map. Changing the font size of the mind map You can change individual nodes by using different options on the context menu: change the style and color, highlight text, and add an URL. Currently, it is not possible to change the font. Changing a node Changing node type There are four visual styles of node: None - no shape is applied Pill - an oval pill-shape Rounded rectangle - a rectangular shape with rounded corners Rectangle - rectangular shape To add a node type: Select the node you want to affect Click the node type button in the toolbar Choose the style of node type you want The style will be applied and the node will be filled with the same color as the branch You can also change the color of the node and its fill opacity for greater visual impact:Changing a node's type and color options Expanding and collapsing mind maps Build mind maps of any size without getting lost in the details. Expand and collapse branches to: get a better overview of your mind map focus on the right level of detail while working help users easily navigate your mind map present only certain levels of detail to your audience How to collapse and expand branches To collapse, hover over the branch and click the minus ( - ) button. Any comments attached to that branch will also be hidden. After collapsing a branch, you’ll see a number that indicates how many nodes and comments are hidden. To expand the branch again, simply click the number.Expanding and collapsing branches of a mind map Mind map export You can export your mind map as an image or PDF file. Learn more about export functionality on this page. To export your mind map as an image, do the following: Click the Export this board icon. You do not need to have anything selected. Choose Save as image. Use the drag handles to select your mind map. Choose the size you want and click Export. You can also select PDF here. The file will be saved to your local hard drive with the name of your board as the filename.Exporting your mind map as an image To export your mind map as a PDF, do the following: Click the Export this board icon. You do not need to have anything selected. Choose Save as PDF. You will be prompted to create a frame for your mind map if it doesn’t already exist. To create a frame, click the Create a frame button in the pop-up box. Choose a style from the options at left. Resize the frame to cover your mind map. Click Export this board again and choose Save as PDF. Choose the best PDF option for you and click Export.Exporting your mind map as a PDF file You can also select the mind map, right-click and choose Copy as image, which will copy only the selected object rather than the entire board. This will not export your mind map, however, it will simply place the copy on the board. Frequently asked questions How many nodes can I have? There is no limit to the number of nodes (parent or child) that you can build. Can I move/reassign a node? Yes, simply drag the node. Can I attach an image to a node? Though there is no option to attach an image to a node, we have it in the backlog. Can I export the data from a mind map into intelligent CSV data? Yes, please use the Mindmap downloader. Can I have several nodes connected to the same child node? As a workaround, you can use connection lines to link a child node to several parent nodes. Can I copy my mind map to another Miro board? Yes, you can copy and paste it like any other content - select the parent node, click the three dots on the context menu, choose Copy,and paste the widget on another board. Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V (on Windows) or Cmd + C/Cmd + V (on Mac) will work as well. Please make sure that the board owner allows copying the board content. How do I move the whole mind map around the board? Select the parent node and move it. Can I change the text size of an individual child node? No, at the moment, you can only change the size of the parent node which will result in changing the size of the whole mind map. Can I convert sticky notes, text blocks, cards, and other widgets into mind map nodes? No, it is not currently possible. You can copy the text from a sticky note/card/text block and paste it into a node. How do I insert a node between two existing ones? Temporarily reassign one of the nodes to another one, create a new node, reassign the node back.Inserting a node between existing ones 💡 If you haven't found the feature you've been looking for, feel free to share your idea in the Community Wish List. ✏️ If you experience issues using a mind map, try these troubleshooting tips.

You can import Mural content to Miro in a PDF. This article provides guidance for best results, explains how to import Mural content in a PDF, and describes the results you can expect for some Mural elements imported to Miro in a PDF.Available on: Business, Education, Enterprise, and StarterWho can do it: Users with edit accessThe PDF import method is effective for functional content that copy-paste and API imports do not support. The PDF importer analyses shapes and coordinates in the Mural PDF and attempts to reconstruct the original Mural layout. For example, intersecting lines may indicate a table.Some objects appear differently in Miro, where precise styling may require manual adjustments or recreation. In general, the simpler the content the more accurate the import.Mural import guidelinesThe PDF import method is most effective with simple content that does not have a lot of styling. The PDF importer primarily matches shapes and lines.✏️ To import to Miro, Mural content must be under a Full or Free Restricted license.Clear spacing between elements enables the importer to parse content most accurately. A Mural board with dozens of elements crowded together may have mixed results.For highest fidelity, ensure that your Mural content does not contain the following attributes: Custom fonts Styling that transforms shapes like rounded corners and bent arrows Overlapping shapes and lines Rotated elements 💡 If you need to preserve styling or exact coordinates, the only reliable method is to import the content as a static image.How to import Mural boards to Miro as PDFsThe following procedure explains how to import Mural content to Miro as PDF documents. Prerequisites Ensure that you complete the following prerequisites: You have edit access to the target board in Mural, and the destination board in Miro. Ensure that you download your Mural files as PDF. More information: See (external) Export and download your mural's content. Procedure Follow these steps: On the Miro dashboard, in the upper-right select + Create new. Select Import, then select Import from Mural.The Import boards from Mural modal opens. Follow the on-screen instructions.You can optionally add your imported content to a Miro Space. If you do not specify a Space, then the content is added to your team. Select Import boards.The import starts. When the import completes, you will get a notification by email. You have successfully imported Mural content to Miro. Importing Mural objects to MiroMural objects import to Miro with some variation for styling and formatting. This section describes the expected results for some objects, and some best practices.AreasThe outermost area imports as a Miro frame. The other areas are imported as shapes.✏️ Nested areas may be incorrectly identified. The PDF importer uses visual coordinates to identify parent-child relationships of widgets. ConnectorsThe PDF importer recognizes only solid connectors.If a connector includes text, then the PDF importer effectively "breaks" the line into two separate lines.A connector with text that the PDF importer "breaks" into two lines.DrawDrawings import as lines. For complex drawings, the PDF importer will sometimes link the drawings to overlapping or nearby objects, for example as connectors.A drawing may import as linked to a nearby or overlapping object.GIFThe PDF importer recognizes GIFs as static images.✏️ The PDF format does not support GIFs. ImagesImages import as images. Position on the board may change due to different coordinate systems.ListsLists import as lists. For best results, ensure you import lists that have default markers.A numbered list and bulleted list with default markers, numerals and bullets respectively.MindmapThe PDF import method works best for mind maps with a single root and visible borders on all nodes.A basic mind map is easier to import as PDFThe PDF importer has difficulty parsing mind maps because mind maps tend to have many lines close to each other. If your PDF mind map is poorly imported, try to copy-paste the mind map instead. The copy-paste method may require manual adjustment to styling and scale, but the result overall will be higher fidelity.ShapesThe PDF importer imports only basic shapes as editable content.Only basic shapes import as editable contentAdvanced or rotated shapes may import as static images.Sticky notesSticky notes import as sticky notes. The default ratio of 3x3 or 5x3 ensures the highest fidelity.Sticky notes with the default size can be easily imported✏️ Round sticky notes import as shapes. Miro does not support round sticky notes. Overlapping and rotated sticky notes may not import with high fidelity.Import results vary for rotated sticky notes, and sticky notes that overlap.TablesThe PDF importer imports simple tables with high fidelity. Tables with complex geometry may import as disconnected lines. For best results, ensure the tables you import do not have the following attributes: Merged cells Invisible borders Rounded corners Complex tables do not import with high fidelity.TextText imports as text in a single block.
