From powerful planning tools to interactive meeting and a visual refresh that makes everything feel just a little smoother, this month we’ve been busy bringing you updates designed to help your team move faster and collaborate more intuitively.
Last month, at Behind the Canvas, we shared our vision for helping teams move from ideas to execution with greater speed, fewer barriers, and tighter alignment across every stage of work. The future of innovation in Miro is here — and it’s built for real impact.
Let’s dive into everything new this month.
Tables and Timeline
Tables and Timeline are available for you to use in your daily workflows, and they’re here to bring structure and consistency. Whether you’re roadmapping, goal setting, or managing a project, Tables help you get organized without giving up the freedom of a visual canvas.
Think of Tables as your new favorite organizer: sortable columns, grouping, filtering, and even the ability to seamlessly switch to Timeline view. You can track progress at a glance and keep everyone moving in the same direction.
And the best part is that you can come back to Tables again and again. Tables support teams as a system of record that you can continuously come back to, helping you to update and track progress over time.
Slides, Diagrams, Formats & Focus mode
Slides (Beta)
Slides are everything you love about a traditional slide deck, with all the added benefits that Miro brings to your workflow. This format combines the structure of presentation slides with the flexibility of an interactive canvas, making Slides the ideal choice for meetings, workshops, and client sessions.
Work on your slides in Focus mode to keep all the tools you need on hand. You can easily drag-and-drop slide reordering, work on presenter notes, and add smooth content imports without the distractions of the rest of your working board.
Formats & Focus mode (Beta)
Need to focus? Focus mode cuts out the clutter so you can zero in on what matters. Set any format — like Docs, Tables, Timelines, Slides, or Diagrams — as the board’s default view to keep your team aligned and turn scattered ideas into clear, organized outcomes
Embed diagrams into Docs (Beta)
Use diagrams frequently in your workflow? You can easily drag a Diagram widget into a doc, creating a Synced copy of the original diagram that’s automatically embedded. This means any updates made to the original diagram will instantly reflect in the doc, ensuring consistency across your work. This is a simple way to keep everything aligned and up to date without the hassle of manual updates.
Synced copies
And that brings us to Synced copies. Create a live embed of key formats like Docs, Tables, Timelines, Diagrams, and Slides — along with all their nested content — and use them across multiple boards. No more manual updates or version control headaches; any changes made to the original will automatically sync everywhere, keeping your work consistent and up to date.
Blueprints (Beta)
Announced in our Behind the Canvas event, Blueprints are available in the Miro template library. These pre-made, multi-step templates are automatically set up with all the boards, formats, and resources you need for each step of your process. Whether you’re following best practices or replicating existing workflows, Blueprints help you hit the ground running and keep everyone aligned from start to finish.
Blueprints bring entire end-to-end workflows (like roadmap planning, OKRs and AI initiative planning) into a single source of truth, and help you get work done faster amongst the chaos of daily tasks.
Sketch to Diagram (Beta)
Miro AI keeps on getting better and better! You can transform screenshots or sketches of diagrams into readily editable diagrams in Miro, allowing your teams to move directly to editing and collaboration. With Sketch to Diagram (Beta), simply upload an image of your sketch and convert it to a fully editable diagram with just a few clicks. This feature is accessible through the context menu when selecting any image.
Planner updates
Here are the Planner updates that will give you the flexibility to easily filter and organize your Planner.
- Filter by active sprint: Users can see all tickets by default. To focus on the current sprint, turn on the active sprint filter via the filter icon in the top-right menu after selecting Sprint.
- Add unassigned to Planner: Users can filter or organize unassigned tickets into a column or swimlane for better visibility and workflow management.
Flip cards (Beta) & mobile apps
Flip cards (Beta)
Want to improve engagement and collaboration in your virtual workshops or meetings? Flip cards make it easy to create engaging, interactive moments with your team. With this Intelligent Widget, you can add a question or prompt to the front, and reveal the answer or explanation on the back. Great for icebreakers, quizzes, brainstorming, or teaching sessions, Flip cards bring a touch of surprise that keeps everyone involved and curious.
Collaboration apps in the Miro mobile app
Collaborate anywhere with your team with two collaboration apps that are available in the Miro mobile app.
With the Timer app, you can effortlessly track time for the workshops, both as a moderator and a participant. And here’s a helpful hint: you can manage the timer in the Miro mobile app while focusing on the workshop or presentation on your laptop.
With Reactions, you can express your feelings and provide feedback quickly and visually right in the Miro mobile app.
Miro Aura
For a more consistent, clear, and aligned look, we’ve updated our product design language with Miro Aura. This round of updates includes:
- Refined color palettes: more shades for better contrast and easier color pairing.
- Updated typography: a new font that supports more languages and improves readability.
- Consistent icons & visuals: more uniform and recognizable elements for a cohesive experience.
- Refreshed sticky notes: adjusted shadows for easier alignment and updated colors for added vibrancy and contrast.
These design language refresh give Miro a more polished, modern look while keeping the intuitive feel you know and love.
