What happened to the "star" or "favourite" feature?

It seems to have vanished from the UI. I can see my ‘starred’ boards but I cannot star any new boards

Was it helpful?

@MattW -

Do you no longer see it in your dashboard view of boards (see below)? I was able to successfully click on the stars to mark some as my favorites...

@MattW - A few months back, Miro moved the starting action to here:

I personally do not agree with this decision and apparently I am not alone as there have been a few Wish List posts requesting the old way be restored. I would suggest that you upvote both as the posts may get merged:

Thanks for the help! I thought about looking in settings but that really didn’t seem like the appropriate place. Quite strange that they would hide such a common, quick action so deep in another menu. I also imagine this is a popular feature given the number of boards large organisations have.

@MattW - I 100% agree!

Starring is like bookmarking, or starring in Gmail - in both, the Star is present in both the a dashboard/list, and within the context of a starred/bookmarked item, e.g., when you have a Gmail email open or are on a page that you have bookmarked in Chrome.

So annoyed with Miro for just turning on and off features when it becomes part of your work flow! Thanks for sharing how to do it!
