Spaces

Who can do it: All users
Which plans: Starter, Business, Enterprise, Education
Which platforms: Browser, Desktop, Mobile

Spaces is Miro's system for organizing boards, Docs, and other Formats and content into a shared, hierarchical home for your team's work. Instead of hunting across a flat list of boards, you and your team work inside a Space built around a specific business context, whether a product launch, a quarterly planning cycle, or a client account, with everything relevant to that goal in one place.

Each Space comes with its own overview, sidebar, and access controls, so context and permissions travel with the content. You can also create and reorder internal sections to add more clarity and structure. For an organization with hundreds of users and boards, that structure is what makes content actionable at scale. 

More information: See Space Overview.

You can build a Space from scratch or start from a pre-built Blueprint. 

From the moment you create it, your Space is discoverable from Home, Browse, and your team's sidebar, with its own emoji, sections, and overview already in place, and no extra setup required.

NOTE: The updated Spaces experience described in this article is in public beta. The rollout first applies to Starter and Business subscriptions from August 17, 2026, then continues gradually to Enterprise from August 24. Enterprise Guard customers are not yet included. Because of broader navigation updates coming soon, some UX described in this article may not immediately match what you see in product.

Key features

• Spaces
  Organize as you scale. Your boards and Formats exist in a contextual Space for specific business goals.

  Create and re-order Sections to organize content hierarchically inside your Space.

  From Home, organize Spaces you own into Groups.
• Blueprints
  Create a readymade Space from a template called a Blueprint, pre-made for specific objectives.

TIP: The organization and team selector is always available in the Home, Space, or board sidebar.

NOTE: If you create a board from the Home template strip, the board does not belong to a Space. To learn how to move a board into a Space, see How to move boards between Spaces.

Space Overview

Navigating from Home, or by URL, every Space opens directly to its unique Space Overview: a live-activity feed that shows what's going on, so you don't have to open every board inside before taking action. No setup required.

The Space Overview provides daily activity and statistical updates prepared by Miro AI. The overview also enables you to write and share updates manually, and prepare an AI-generated weekly summary. You can format and share any update card to other tools like Slack. To learn more, see Space Overview.

NOTE: Daily Miro AI activity and statistical updates do not consume AI credits. Preparing a weekly AI narrative summary consumes two (2) Miro AI credits per request. Sharing either update does not consume credit. For more information, including behavior when Miro AI is disabled for your organization, see Space Overview and Miro AI reference.

TIP: The Space Overview is MCP-enabled. If your team uses AI agents, you can pull and push Space-level updates and decisions into your agent through Miro's MCP server.

To learn what's possible from the Space Overview, including what happens when Miro AI is enabled or disabled, see Space Overview.

Space sidebar and search

Inside a Space, the Home sidebar is now collapsed next to a secondary Space sidebar.

The Space sidebar shows all content inside your Space. You can drag and reorder any item in the Space sidebar. You can also create sections to add further clarity.

TIP: TIP: Learn how to create new sections to organize your Space hierarchically.

TIP: Organize your Spaces by Group, and each Space internally by section.

In the Space sidebar, you can open the create (+) menu to create a new board or Format inside the Space, create a new section, import from outside Miro, move boards to the Space, and explore templates and Miroverse.

TIP: Formats created from the Space sidebar open in Focus mode.

To search inside your Space, in the Home sidebar, collapsed next to the Space sidebar, click the magnifying glass. To learn more about searching in Miro, see Quick search and Advanced search in Miro. 

You can also access the Spaces sidebar from any board or Format inside the Space: In the Board bar, click the Open | Close Sidebar switch.

NOTE: Boards not in a Space have only the primary Home sidebar and shows your recently visited boards. From a board or Format, if you do not see the secondary Space sidebar, then the board or Format is not inside a Space.

The Space Options menu enables you to do the following:

You can have one of the following Space roles:

• Owner
  Can edit and delete the Space, add and remove boards, set visibility for the entire team, assign Space-level and board-level roles, and transfer ownership to another user. A Space owner is automatically an Editor for all content inside the Space.
• Co-owner
  Can update Space-level the role for a given user, and assign Space-level roles. A Space co-owner is automatically an Editor for all content inside the Space.
• Editor
  Can rename the Space, edit and rename any board in the Space, and assign board-level roles.
• Commenter
  Can comment on any board in the Space.
• Viewer
  Can view any board in the Space.

A user may already have a board-level role specified for a given board. If they receive a higher Space-level role, the higher role takes priority for all boards inside the Space. If the member loses their Space-level role, they retain their original board-level role.

More information: See Roles in Miro.

To find a board not in a Space, go to your Home. Then filter your recent boards using Filter by: Boards not in a Space. You can also apply the same filter using general search.
