I’m still using the free version, which allows three editable boards at a time. I shared a board with a fellow teacher so that she could see how I use Miro with my English classes. She really liked the website, she she decided to create her own boards for her classes. However, when she created two of her own boards for her own classes, they showed up in my “Team” and locked the boards I’ve been using with my students. The free version of the site allows 3 editable boards at a time per user, right? So how can both of us have three editable boards each, as opposed to the two of us needing to share that limit?

Why are other users' boards taking up my three editable boards limit?

Now you’re in a wee bit of a mess as your coworker has boards in your plan. A few options are:
- Remove this other person from your team and they will need to create their own Free Plan team and recreate the boards.
- If you are both teachers of an accredited educational institution, you could apply for a Miro Education Plan that is free for life and gives you a 100 seat/member team. You can learn more about the Education Plan and apply here → https://miro.com/education-whiteboard/
+7The free account will let you have as many boards as you like but only three will be active at any given point in time. After three have been created, the fourth one created will end up deactivating one of the first three.

Hi
Thanks for your response! I understand that part. But why did my coworker’s boards deactivate my boards? We are using them for different purposes and different classes, so I thought that her account would be separate from mine, which would mean that we could both have our own 3 active boards. Or did I misunderstand this?
Thanks again!

+7This may be because both of you are sharing the same e-mail domain as part of your user names. I believe the free account is one per e-mail domain (as opposed to user).

Hi, I am no longer in the education team and now it says I only have access to 3 boards. I deleted all boards but 3, but it still says only the last 3 created boards can be edited. This must be a bug,because now I can not edit any of my 3 boards and I need the information from these boards. What can I do?
+13What has most likely happened is that the board were private while in the Education Plan and now need to have their team access changed now that they are a part of a Free Plan again:
IMPORTANT: If you do not have at least one other member in your team, then the “team” access option will not be present – this is a known gap in Miro’s Free Plan sharing settings flow.
How to unlock a board:
Open the board’s share settings and check that the Team access is not set to No access. If it is, change it to something else.
If there are no other members in your team, you’ll see:
To get around this quickly, you can invite any fake email address to your team, e.g., fakeemailshdfsdf@fakedomaintest.com
Once you’ve done this, when you go back to the board share settings you’ll see:
Then you’ll:
