Import from Jamboard to Miro
This section guides you through the steps to import your Jamboard files into Miro, creating a new Miro board for each imported Jamboard:
- From the Miro Home dashboard, select + Create new.
💡 You can also access the Create new (+) menu from the sidebar when you have a Miro board open.
- Select or hover over Import in the menu.
- Select Import from Jamboard. A modal window will open with details about the import process.
- Click Import Jamboards to continue.
- You will be prompted to sign into your Google account and authorize the Jamboard migration access to your Google Drive.
- Once Google authorization is complete, you will be connected to your Google Drive with access to all your Jamboards. Choose up to 10 Jamboards you wish to import at one time, and click Select.
- All content from the selected Jamboards is now imported into Miro in an editable format. A new Miro board is automatically created for each Jamboard you import.
- Review the imported content on your new Miro board(s) and make any necessary adjustments. While Miro offers extensive functionalities, there may be slight differences in styling and formatting options compared to Jamboard. Refer to the Understand Jamboard object mapping in Miro section for guidance on potential variations.
