Thanks for sharing your experience! Right now, Miro doesn’t have a built-in role that allows users to add sticky notes without unlocking elements. you can upvote existing requests and share your use case or submit new ones -
Using layers can be a workaround, but as you noted, it may limit how users interact with sticky notes. Here are a couple of options you might explore:
You can create a locked background on one frame and leave another frame open for user contributions.
If you have a specific structure, you could prepare a board template where contributors only work in designated areas.
Some teams use integrations like Google Forms + Zapier to collect stickies without giving edit access.
Would love to hear if anyone else has creative solutions! 😊
