A Custom Blueprint is a Space template that you create for your unique processes and workflows. A Custom Blueprint can include boards, Formats, or any Miro resource tailor-fit to your needs.

A Custom Blueprint has all the boards and Formats you need for a specific goal.

Create and manage a Custom Blueprint as a reusable template for your design process, delivery process, rollout, or quarterly planning, for example. You can create and save a Custom Blueprint to your organization, team, or personal library. 

You can also save an existing Space into a Custom Blueprint.
