Additional questions and answers
Are there other ways to select an object in Miro?
Yes, there are several different ways to do this. Other than using the “Select” tool, you can also use the “Lasso” tool.
• Choose the lasso tool and drag it around the object or objects you want to move. If you prefer to use the keyboard, you can also select them one by one while holding down “Shift + Control” for Windows users and “Shift + Command” for Mac users.
• You can also select all the objects on the board using keyboard shortcuts. Window users can do this by holding down “Control + A”. For Mac users, press and hold “Control + A”.
I moved some stuff in Miro, but now I want to align it. Is there an easy way to do this?
Yes, you can align multiple objects. There is no need to try to align it by eye. To get perfect alignment, just follow these steps:
1. Select all the objects that you want to align using one of the methods described in this article.
2. With all the objects now selected, from the context menu that pops up, you can choose to align them horizontally or vertically.
Please note that you cannot group objects inside tables.
Can I also move a text box?
You can move a text box using the same methods described in this article. Simply choose the Select tool, click the text box you want to move, and then drag it to its new location.
Is it possible to group things in mero?
Miro gives the user the ability to put things together. Grouping objects makes it easier to move them to new locations without losing alignment and spacing with each other.
• Select all the objects you want to group.
• Use the keyboard shortcut “Control + G” for windows users. Mac users should use “Command + G.”
Once these objects are grouped, they will behave as if they were a single object.
To disassemble:
• Select the group and hold down “Shift + Control + G” for windows users.
• On a Mac, select the combination and hold “Shift + Command + G”.
Please note that you cannot group objects within tables, mindgap nodes, kanbans, USMs, or objects within different frames.
I have an object inside a group that I need to animate. How do I do this work?
Yes, even though multiple objects are grouped, you can still move an object to a new location within that group. To do this, simply double-click on the object and drag it to its new location. You will see that as this object is moved, the bounding box of the group will change to include the new location of this moved object.
Move things exactly where you want them
With Miro, you can move objects to new locations on the whiteboard. You can do this using the Select or Lasso tools, or you can use keyboard shortcuts. You can also align these objects, either horizontally or vertically. Miro’s drop-and-swipe interface makes moving objects a breeze.
