Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Sharing the wrong board

Reason: Accidentally sharing a board containing sensitive or incomplete information with the wrong team or individuals.
Solution: Double-check the board name and intended recipients before sharing.

2. Ignoring permission settings

Reason: Granting everyone full access, leading to unintended edits and potential data loss, or conversely, restricting access too much, hindering collaboration.
Solution: Use Miro's granular permission settings to assign appropriate access levels to each collaborator.

3. Lack of clear communication and guidelines

Reason: Failing to establish clear communication protocols and expectations for board usage and contributions resulting in confusion and inefficiency.
Solution: Create a brief guide for board use and establish clear communication channels for collaboration.
