Miro board UX improvements

We released a bundle of UX improvements to make using Miro more intuitive:

• Better mouse navigation

Previously, mouse users accidentally moved board objects when trying to pan with the left mouse button. Now Miro customers need to use the right button to pan, which prevents them from making unwanted board edits.

• Adding scrollbars

Some users don't realise Miro canvas is infinite, and that it's possible to navigate the board beyond the default viewport. We are changing this perception by adding horizontal & vertical scrollbars to the board.

• Improved input device detection

We are now detecting mouse or trackpad change in real time & syncing change across all open tabs as well as giving users an option to turn auto-detection off and stick to their mode of choice.

• Easy & precise selection

Selection of sticky notes, shapes, text, emojis, frames, and lines is now much easier because we allow to select them when the lasso is touching only ~1% of the object.

• Double-click shortcut deprecation

Previously, double-click on Miro boards created a new sticky note, text widget, shape, or card depending on what’s been used the latest.

We deprecated this behavior because it was not something the majority of users expected, and created friction for them as they used to accidentally add unwanted content and had to delete it.

Enterprise deployment for Miro’s Windows app

IT Administrators will now be able to install the Miro app for Windows devices on a large-scale basis with the Microsoft Installer. They will be able to deploy it to hundreds of users and machines instantly, with the option to decide between auto update and non-auto update, to have more control over the apps in their organization. Learn more.

Workflow transitions now available for Team, Business, Consultant, Education, and Enterprise Plan users

Workflow transitions is a Jira Cards feature that allows to transfer a Jira issue from one status (e.g. 'In Progress') to another one (e.g. 'Resolved') according to the workflows set up by admins in Jira.

This update continues enriching Jira Cards experience in Miro making our product more robust for supporting Agile workflows –workflow transitions are important for such use cases as daily stand-ups, sprint planning and reviews, backlog refinement, retros, etc.

We will be supporting basic functionality available to Jira users 'out of the box'. It means that all Atlassian & externally developed plugins that can be added on top of the core Jira functionality are currently not supported.

Visit Help Center to learn more.

Updated SSO flow for native apps

Users who sign into Miro’s desktop or mobile apps via SSO will now be automatically redirected to the web browser to use the company SSO. They’ll be redirected back to the native app upon successful login. This feature is only available for Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more about SSO.

Smart Diagramming now available on Consultant and Education plans

Available for Business, Enterprise, Education and Consultant plans.

Our all-in-one diagram maker is one of the most commonly used solutions to align teams, create diagrams, and manage tasks, all in one tool.

We’ve now made it even easier for Consultant and Education plans to create advanced diagrams by offering you our Smart Diagramming solution, including several advanced shape packs (AWS, Azure and Cisco).

Want to know more? Check out our mapping and diagramming help center for all kinds of tips, tricks, and resources to improve your diagramming process.

Secure company-wide board sharing on the Enterprise Plan

Visual collaboration at scale is becoming even easier in Miro. With this update, it’ll now be possible to securely share Miro boards with edit access outside of the user’s team, eliminating the need to manually invite hundreds of collaborators or allow edit access via public link. This feature is great for instances where you need to share an editable board with all of your employees for things like PI Planning or company-wide workshops.

Unlock collaboration with Miro and Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams users are now able to share Miro boards with teammates who do not have a Miro account, making work easier and opening the doors to unrestricted collaboration. Add the Miro app to your Teams space to work together in real time or asynchronously. Brainstorm ideas, make decisions, give feedback, and boost productivity all in one place - with Miro and Teams. Learn how to bring Miro into your Teams space.

Automated deactivation and access expiration of Non-Team users

Previously in beta, now available for all Enterprise users: This new feature helps automate the deactivation of users by allowing Company Admins to set automated deactivations based on inactivity after 30 days. Learn more about this in our help center article.

Performance improvements for big collaborative boards

There are two significant board performance improvements we are excited to share:

• We improved loading speed for content-heavy boards with 5000+ objects by at least 10%

• We reduced the maximum board loading time for massive collaborative sessions with 100+ users to 40 seconds for the majority of cases (and more often than not even less than that!)

Please, note, that Miro performance may vary depending on the device you are using and the speed of your Internet connection.

New templates added to Miroverse

Gain insight into your teammates’ unique work experiences and points of view—whether remote, in an office, or hybrid with these new templates from our community. This month Miroverse brings you 40+ new templates and introduces 20+ new creators:

Improved board navigation on touch screens

We’ve made it even easier to navigate boards, move objects, and rearrange content when working with Miro on touch devices - any tablet or large display. Now, you’ll be able to select the object you want to move in order to place it somewhere else on the board, reducing accidental content moves. When working with a stylus, you will also be able to use your finger to move objects around easily. Learn more.

Board sharing permission settings for secure collaboration

Collaborate with additional confidence on sensitive projects. Now board owners & co-owners on Team, Business, Consultant, Education, and Enterprise Plan can withdraw editors’ permissions to change board access settings and invite other collaborators. This way they can proactively manage (and limit, if needed) who the board is shared with.

Visit the Help Center to learn more.

Request Access Management improvements

We’ve made some enhancements and improvements to the way Company admins can automate requests from their end users for license upgrades. We have now extended this functionality to allow admins to configure for users to join an organization, or to join a team. To learn more about this feature, please visit the help center.

App management in the admin console for Enterprise customers

It’s even easier to use and manage apps for your organization with the new App management section in the Enterprise admin console. With this new feature, company admins can now: 

• Complete one step install of apps, making it easier to pick and choose the apps they want to give permission to their teams to use.

• Do automatic install of apps for new teams, reducing the amount of time needed to set up new teams with the apps they can or can not use. 

• Bulk install of apps to specific teams, easily control which set up apps need to be installed for what teams. 

Visit the Help Center to learn more about this new feature. 

Miro for Webex Meetings is here

All Webex users can now bring Miro into their Webex Meeting and brainstorm ideas, take notes, and visualize concepts. Work in real time using tools such as sticky notes, ready-made templates, and voting, without having to switch in and out of different apps. 

• Turn conversations into collaboration. Create a new Miro board or open an existing one instantly during a Webex Meeting and work together in one place.

Enforce Jira Cards authentication with individual user credentials on your account

Starting August 26, 2021 Miro users of Jira Cards integration will have the option to enforce authentication with individual user credentials.

Before this update Jira Cards integration required the use of shared admin credentials to access it. With this release, we're making Jira Cards even more secure and delightful to use:

• All users (both new & existing) who install integration with Jira for the first time starting August 26 will have authentication with individual user credentials enabled by default

• All admins of accounts, where Jira Cards are already installed, will have the option to enforce using this integration with individual credentials anytime between August 26, 2021 and January 18, 2022

  • If they choose to enforce authentication with individual user credentials before January 18, 2022, it will be impossible to undo this action

• If they don't do anything between August 26 and January 18, using Jira Cards with individual credentials will be enforced on their account by Miro on January 18, 2022

Visit Help Center to learn more and install Jira Cards in the Miro Marketplace.

Team Management updates 

For Enterprise plan company admins, we have a few new updates that help company admins better manage their teams:

• Sort teams alphabetically: a better way to sort and quickly find your teams for more insights

Two new features on the Enterprise Plan

Co-owner and new team creation flow are now available on the Enterprise Plan.

• Preparing and facilitating workshops often requires collaboration with multiple people. Board owners on the Enterprise Plan now can assign co-owners so they can also hide frames, use master lock, control board sharing settings, and more. To allow end users to leverage this feature for their sync and async collaboration, company admins need to enable it for their org and specific teams. Learn more in our Help Center. Please, note, that with this newest update co-owner is now available on two Miro plans: Consultant and Enterprise.

• Company admins are now able to clone the default settings of an existing team to create new teams. This will help replicate the desired best practice approach faster when scaling Miro usage across the org.

Role and license management updates

Company admins will now be able to assign or change licenses for their users at the team level, instead of just at the company level. They will be able to assign a full license to a user, or change their user’s license to free restricted (flexible licensing plans only). This will make it easier and less cumbersome for admins to make changes.

Updates for the Enterprise Plan customers

Splunk integration – now available in beta

For customers that are using Splunk and Miro, we now have an integration that’s being enabled in beta that’ll allow users to ingest Audit logs through Splunk (SIEM) to have additional insights into their Miro activity. For more information, please get in touch with your customer success manager.

Audit log updates

Three new events are now available in audit logs: 1) files uploaded 2) files downloaded 3) boards exported. These are only enabled by request, please get in touch with your CSM to have these enabled, if interested.

Miro plugin for Figma – now owned by Miro

Using both Miro and Figma? Try the Miro plugin for Figma (formerly known as Figmiro) to seamlessly import from Figma to Miro. Now that the plugin is owned by the Miro team, we think you'll love it. The Miro plugin for Figma lets you easily add Figma frames to Miro, giving Miro users that don't have access to Figma (or don't have any experience with it) the chance to provide feedback right in Miro and stay up to date with the latest design changes in Figma. The Miro plugin for Figma now supports SSO, which gives you more streamlined and secure authentication.

Install Miro plugin for Figma

Co-owner role & collaboration tools update

The new co-owner role is a board (and project) role that allows board owners to share responsibilities of preparing and facilitating live and asynchronous collaboration. Co-owners can perform almost all the actions available for board owner, from managing board settings to hiding and revealing content and setting passwords on public boards.

Now this role is available to all Miro users on the Consultant Plan, and is coming soon to the Enterprise Plan.

Moreover, board owners and co-owners on the Consultant Plan can now control the usage of board collaboration tools by setting who can start timer, voting, video chat, screen sharing and use attention management on a board. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

• Stay in the flow with instant access to Miro from within Zoom to easily collaborate on existing boards or create new ones without toggling between windows.

Introducing the integration with Dialpad

We’ve partnered with Dialpad to offer Miro directly within Dialpad Meetings. It is available by default for all free users and available for download from the Dialpad App Marketplace for all Dialpad Meetings users on a paid plan.

Read Dialpad Help center article to learn more, and install the integration from the Dialpad marketplace.

Updates for the Enterprise Plan customers

This week we are announcing a few exciting updates for our Enterprise Plan customers that are primarily focused on elevating the admin experience:

SaaS Management integrations  Miro has partnered with Bettercloud, Productiv and Zylo to bring SaaS management integrations to Miro users. These integrations will allow admins to leverage their SaaS management platform to view information on Miro license consumption and activity. Read more here.

Available to Miro Enterprise customers and requires a subscription to Bettercloud, Productiv or Zylo to set up integration.

Introducing mandatory password protection for publicly shared boards  Miro administrators on the Enterprise Plan now have the ability to enforce mandatory passwords on all boards that are shared publicly. Learn more here.

Bulk select for user management Admins on the Enterprise Plan can now easily select up to 50 users at a time, allowing for easier management of users when deleting, deactivating or creating new teams.

Audit Logs Additional audit log events are now available. Under user management, admins can now determine if a user license has been converted to a free restricted license. Learn more about our audit logs in the Help Center.

Making Miro more accessible for screen reader users

We are working on making Miro more accessible, and released the first significant bundle of product improvements for screen reader users. 

Screen reader users don’t need to take any additional steps to activate the accessibility functionality – when you open a Miro board with your screen reader, you will hear a prompt to activate screen reader mode. 

Now screen reader users can be invited to Miro boards – sign up & sign in are screen-reader friendly, it is possible to navigate through the Miro dashboard to open the required board, and the main types of board content such as frames, sticky notes, and shapes can now be accessed with the help of the screen reader. 

Please, note, that the flow described above works the best for:

• Users invited to the existing team on the Enterprise Plan

• Users on Team, Business, Consultant, Education or Enterprise Plan that are invited directly to the board as anonymous Guest Editors 

All of the flows described above are currently only available on the desktop. 

The current solution is read-only making it possible for users to access existing board content with the help of the screen reader, and does not allow creating or editing content on Miro boards yet. 

We will continue working on making Miro more accessible, and are planning to support other possible setups in the future. 

Visit the Help Center and watch the product video to learn more, and let us know what you think in the Community!

Board history is now available on Team, Business, Consultant, Enterprise, and Education Plans

Imagine working on a massive Miro board with dozens of collaborators: sometimes your content can be accidentally moved around or deleted by others. 

Board history makes it possible to automatically save and recover versions of Miro boards enabling you to collaborate with additional confidence. 

• Board versions are automatically saved every hour as well as at the end of each collaborative session

• If you want to work with an earlier version of your board, it will be restored as a copy of the original board and will open in the new browser tab – this way you will not disrupt the work of your team members 

• Restoration of previous board versions is available to board owners and team members with editor rights

• You can access board history by clicking the icon in the bottom left collaboration toolbar if you are

Introducing Miro for Webex Messaging: embed Miro as a tab in Webex team space

All Miro and Webex users by default will now be able to add a Miro board as a tab to their Webex Messaging space from the Webex App Hub, right in your Webex team space.

With the new Miro app for Webex Messaging collaborators can:

• Add Miro boards as tabs in any Webex Messaging team space to co-create without switching tools

• Sign in to start a new board with desired access settings, or choose an existing board to collaborate with members in your Webex team space

• Keep momentum going after the meeting by collaboratively documenting notes using the Webex Meeting Summary template in Miro

Introducing Member Trials

Collaborating in Miro should be easy and stress-free for new teammates and admins. That's why we're introducing Member Trials for all Team Plan members.

Seven days. Full access. Completely free. Your new teammates get instant collaboration while admins decide who gets added to the paid membership.

Here are some need-to-knows:

• Trials begin when new members open a board and are only valid once for new users

• Team members or admins can invite new members based on their preference in settings

• When a trial expires, members automatically become full members unless downgraded before the end of the seven days

• Admins will get weekly email updates to see remaining trial times and how members are using their trial

Don’t have the Miro tablet app? Download for iOS or Android, and keep a lookout for more updates to come.

New templates added to Miroverse

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since we released Miroverse into the world. Since then, we’ve seen more than 400 creators share their 600+ templates, including frameworks, activities — even art! Go from idea to action with some of this month's new templates:

• 🤔Develop a product concept from target customer to validated product solution with The Product Thinking Board by Prod MBA

• 👋 Onboard new product team members and make them feel included, informed, and empowered with d.labs.

• Create frames directly from the mobile app to organize and present information

• Shapes, stickers, and text can be viewed easily without the need to zoom out

Don’t have the Miro mobile app yet? Download it for Android or iOS

Sign in with Slack Links

Slack recently released a new update that allows users to connect to select third-party services, including Miro, by using their Slack account.  If a user clicks a Miro board that has been shared in Slack, they will be prompted to connect their Slack account to an existing Miro account or to create a new one.

Existing Miro users can log in to Miro using Slack to authenticate and new Miro users can seamlessly create an account using their Slack credentials.

Connecting to Miro with Slack enables users to experience the features of the Miro app, including rich link previews, and configurable notification settings.  Note: This feature is being gradually rolled out by Slack and not available to all users yet.

Important update for users of access-link integrations on the Enterprise Plan 

Miro integrates with Airtable, Bitrix 24, Coda, Confluence, Hopin, Jira, Livestorm, Microsoft Teams, Monday, Remo, RemoteHQ, Toasty, Trello, Whereby, and Butter using access links. 

It means Miro users with accounts in these services can embed Miro boards into all of these products for viewing and commenting. 

Now, if sharing boards via a public link is turned off on company or team level in the Miro account on the Enterprise Plan, boards embedded via access links will also be shared privately by default.

It means all Miro users in the account will need to sign in or sign up to Miro to view the embedded board (for example, on a Confluence page).

Also, end-users will see a notification letting them know boards can only be embedded privately in compliance with the settings you enforce for your organization.  

A new and improved home for all the Miro Templates

The templates library gets a fresh new look and feel, expanded categories, richer images, and a big ol' search bar at the top. We refreshed the templates library on the website so you can find the right templates for your team faster than ever.

Visit Miro templates library to see what's new.

New templates added to Miroverse

Introducing our new reactions feature

With the new reactions feature you can show it, rather than say it. 

We’ve listened to your feedback and learned that one of the biggest challenges teams face is how to build, and maintain engagement throughout meetings and workshops. That’s why we’re launching the reactions feature that can boost engagement during meetings and workshops by giving everyone a chance to express themselves. 

• Select from six emojis to express how you feel at any time during meetings and workshops

• Raise your hand if you want to speak up and facilitators will get notified 

• Facilitators will be able to lower hands

Reactions feature is available for all users and board owners will be able to turn the option off and back on.

The new plugin enables all users who are on Education, Team, Consultant, Business, or Enterprise plan to:

• Pause the timer when needed 

• Add time to the timer with the click of a button 

• Choose royalty free background tunes to get participants in the right mindset 

Visit the Help Center to learn more and let us know what you think in the community. 

Frames improvements

Frames are an essential feature that helps structure your content on Miro boards. Here are the two of the most recent enhancements:

• Automatic numeration for frame names: if you call your first frame 'Frame name 1', we'll be automatically adding the next number to the name of the next frame you add to the board ('Frame name 2', 'Frame name 3', etc)

• Better rendering of frame names when you're zoomed out of the board to increase perceivability of board content

New Team-level sharing permissions (Enterprise Plan only)

As Miro usage scales within your organization, the need for more granular security settings increases. We released new Team-level security features to give you the control and flexibility needed to customize allowlists and sharing policies according to your teams' needs. This is particularly useful for companies working with external collaborators for use cases like workshops, agile ceremonies, and more. Read our Help Center to learn more.

Increased duration of session idle timeout (Enterprise Plan only)

Previously, the session idle timeout interval was set to 30 minutes. According to customer feedback, this duration may be too short and potentially disruptive for end users. We've increased the timeout interval to 90 minutes and are working towards allowing customizable intervals in the future. Read our Help Center to learn more. 

Updates to make Activity List in Miro more secure

Activity List in Miro helps track changes made to boards by editors. In our effort to make collaboration in Miro even more secure, we’re updating the permissions to ensure that Activity List is available for board collaborators with the right permissions. Here are the changes we introduced: 

• Activity List will be visible exclusively for board editors that were explicitly invited to boards via email or have the access to the board because they are part of a project or team in Miro. Board viewers & commenters will NOT see Activity List

• If the board is shared via link with the company or via a public link with anonymous Guest Editors, Activity List won’t be visible for them

Merge cells, copy from spreadsheets, and more!

Starting today the updated version of tables (formerly ‘grids’) is available to all Miro users. 

What’s new? 

• We added the top-requested functionality – the ability to merge cells, which unlocks even more possibilities for organizing your board content visually and creating robust templates for your team

• It is now possible to copy content from Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets to Miro tables 

• You can now copy and paste content between cells without losing formatting

• We updated overall user experience for tables making adding and deleting rows & columns and moving the table on the board more intuitive  You can learn more about using tables in Miro in the Help Center. Already tried the new features? Let us know what you think in the Miro Community!

Miro supports online hackathons and contests organizers

If you organize a remote hackathon, contest, or online challenge, you can apply for a free Miro account, to enable all your participants with comfortable space to collaborate and co-create together regardless of the time-zone or location.

Add helpful illustrations to your boards with the new UnDraw app

Install the new UnDraw app to create presentations, provide visual feedback or mark needed actions through beautiful illustrations. The app contains three collections of illustrations for actions, reactions, and presentations as well as multiple color options.

Board content settings updates

Copy board functionality is now available to Free, Team, Business, Consultant, and Education Plan users (coming to the Enterprise Plan early 2021).

The option to allow copying boards from one account to another will be turned off by default for existing Miro users, and will have to be enabled by admins, if needed.

When the option to copy boards is turned on, all collaborators (including viewers, commenters, and guest editors) will be able to copy boards to their respective Miro accounts to use them as templates, or continue working on meeting artifacts

This update will also influence content download permissions. Now unregistered users (board viewers, commenters, and guest editors) will have no option to download assets from boards, as we want to provide advanced collaboration security and control over board assets. Please, let us know what you think about this update in the community.

This is the last Changelog update in 2020. Thank you for using Miro, and helping us make our product better every day. See you in 2021 – can't wait to share the new & exciting features we prepared for you!

Introducing Miro for Google Calendar

The Miro for Google Calendar Chrome Extension takes the stress out of meeting setup for organizers and gives participants the access they need to make meetings more productive. Use the new extension to add Miro boards to any Google Calendar event in just a few clicks and ensure meeting participants have the appropriate view, comment, or edit access ahead of time, so meetings go off without a hitch.  

Read the blog to learn more and Help Center article for installation instructions.

Automate and manage Miro requests using your request management workflows

Available for Enterprise Plan.

To reduce admin overhead, we’ve released a new Request Management configuration in the Account Security settings. Currently, any time a new user requests access to Miro or to upgrade their license, an email notification is sent to the Company Admin.

Now, Company Admins can configure the way they will be notified of these requests and may choose from three options:

1. Send a standard email notification to admins (existing feature)

2. Redirect the requester to a service desk (new)

3. Automatically convert their request into a ServiceNow ticket (new)

To learn how to use these new configurations, check out our Help Center article. 

Process internal chargebacks with new SCIM attributes

If you’re currently using SCIM to manage user provisioning and deprovisioning for Miro, we’ve added support for six new attributes to give you access to more detailed information on which parts of the organization or cost centers users belong to. 

The new attributes include:

• Employee number

• Cost center

• Division

• Department

• Manager name

• Manager id

For more information about these new attributes and other features currently supported through SCIM, please see our updated Help Center article. 

Coming soon: increase meeting engagement with Guest Editor access to collaborative apps

To give guests more opportunities to participate during meetings and workshops in Miro, we will be releasing an update soon to grant Guest Editors the ability to access collaborative apps that are installed on the board.

Currently guests can see these apps that are installed, but are not able to use them without registering for an account. With the upcoming change, Guest Editors will be able to use collaborative apps as they do the other tools on the board.

Note, collaborative apps are a subset of apps available to users. These are plug-ins that only interact with objects on the board and meant to encourage engagement during synchronous sessions. They do not access any data that lives outside the board or in other systems.

Deleted content recovery functionality to be added to Miro shortly

Select Miro users currently have beta access to recovering recently deleted content on their boards. This feature is coming soon to all Miro users.

It allows users to recover accidentally deleted board content, and is accessible via the Activity list.  

The primary use case for this feature is enabling users to recover accidentally deleted content on the board without having to contact Miro support.  It is especially convenient for big collaborative boards with multiple collaborators. 

Stay tuned for updates via What's new in-product and the changelog to learn when it becomes available to all users, and what the functionality and scope of the feature is.

Mind map updates

Now you can hold CMD or CTRL button to stop auto-reassign of mind map nodes, if you want to have more precise control over your mind map.

Users that haven't tried this feature yet, will see a hint about it.

Meet the new Miro card

Card is a versatile board object our customers use in user story mapping and Kanban interactive frameworks as well as for aggregating and storing content, such as user research interviews and insights.

Cards are almost as easy to use as sticky notes, and are much more flexible and powerful at the same time.

The good news this object just received a major facelift, and is now even easier and more intuitive to use.

• Working with color coding, tags, assignees, and due dates as well as copying a link to card and deleting cards just got faster thanks to quick actions on the right side of the card (when it's in the expanded view)

• It's now easier to work with longer texts because we added scrolling and made it possible to resize a card by dragging its border

Note: The board permissions are what is set in the board sharing settings.

Team Plan billing updates

We changed the way we charge for the new seats added during the subscription billing period on the Team Plan. This change will make our billing infrastructure more stable and scalable, and billing experience – easier and clearer for our customers.

We used to take payment for new team members at the end of the month (e.g. if you added new team members on the 14th of the month, we would charge you for additional team members on the last day of the same month).

Now we are changing that to be the same as date as the day when you subscribed to Miro. For example, if you subscribed on September 10, 2020, your team members' payment date wil be the 10th of the month. If you invite a new team member on September 14, 2020, will charge you for this user for the first time on October 10, 2020.

Better performance across the board

Miro team continues investing in our app performance as we believe it is one of the key factors influencing user experience.

We anticipate that these improvements will help create a delightful experience for all Miro users, especially those, who regularly create, duplicate, or delete boards, switch between projects, and search for specific content.

Here are some recent highlights:

• Improved dashboard loading time for users with multiple accounts and boards

One minor yet noticeable improvement that comes with faster dashboard loading time is that it prevents misclicks when you go back from board to dashboard to open a different board.

• Optimized switching between projects.

Previously, some users reported experiencing a 2-second lag when switching between different projects on the dashboard and were unsure if the project they selected started loading. This lag has been reduced – now users immediately see the name of the project they want to switch to.

• Faster board creation, duplication, and deletion for bigger accounts

Now you can create boards faster – we optimized new board creation from the dashboard as well as introduced miro.new shortcut helping save time every time you feel the need to start a new Miro board.

Duplicating and deleting boards from the dashboard also got noticeably faster.

We also enhanced the responsiveness of the board details window and updated its user interface.

• Better search

Now search queries are typically processed in less than one second. Previously, queries could take up to three seconds to process.

Use search in 'More apps' to discover new ways to use Miro

Discover apps, plugins, and integrations developed by Miro and third-party developers faster with in-product search. Simply click on the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar and type the name of the app you are looking for:

Resizing mind map just got easier

Import Asana tasks faster with the new search option

After selecting the project you want to import tasks from, use the search field to type in terms that may be found in the task name you are looking for. Relevant tasks will be returned as you search.

Note: Currently you can only search by Task name and not other fields like assignee or status or words found in the task comments or description. 

Build transparency by sharing boards company-wide

Available for Enterprise Plan only.

There are several ways to share Miro boards as a Miro Enterprise user. With this new sharing setting, you can promote knowledge sharing and transparency by sharing boards with Miro users across multiple team workspaces.

Never miss voting or video chat session on your board again
