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.
FAQs
How can I control who can edit my Miro board?
Miro offers various permission levels. When sharing a board, you can choose between 'Can view' (read-only access) and 'Can edit' (full editing access). You can also add specific individuals or groups, preventing unwanted edits. Furthermore, you can manage permissions at any time by going to the board's sharing settings.
