Copy Paste elements/objects from someone else's board (youtube V-MUG video) to my board


Hi. 

I follow Miro on youtube and watch a lot of V-MUG videos.
I see a lot of good elements on their board.
when i try to copy and past the elements from their board onto my board, it does not work. (paste does not happen)

what am i doing wrong ?

what can i do if i want to use those elements on my board ?

hi @Kiron Bondale . thanks for helping out. 

i figured that, copy paste is not working from the chrome incognito . 

i was opening the other board in incognito mode. 

once i opened both the boards in the normal chrome browser in 2 different tabs (non incognito mode), i was able to copy paste the objects. 

thanks for helping me out.

@Rahil Ahmed -

Are you using the Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V combination for the content from one board to the next?

Hi @Kiron Bondale .  
i tried all 3 below options but failed unfortunately. 

  1. Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V combination
  2. right click copy paste
  3. chrome miro plugin. 

if you have another recommendation, i could try that and let you know, if that works. 

thanks for the help !!

Can you post the URL of the board you are trying to copy content from so that I can see if I have any luck?

@Rahil Ahmed -

Because a number of elements are locked, I wasn’t able to select all the content in an area but was able to selectively copy & paste content using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V using separate browser tabs in Google Chrome on a Windows 10 PC.

I was also able to do a Ctrl-A/Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V to copy the entire content of the board over to one of my boards.

Does copying and pasting work with any other two boards for you - even two of your own boards?

hi @Kiron Bondale .

  1. I am using Google Chrome on a Windows 10 dell laptop.
  2. i am able to copy paste objects using ctrl+c and ctrl+v between 2 of my boards.
  3. I am not able to copy paste objects using ctrl-a, ctrl+c and ctrl+v between link i mentioned above to my board

what do you think, could be the difference ? why is that you may have these permissions and i dont ?
