- Select objects (such as Sticky notes) on the board to add context, if needed.

Miro Docs in-line templates
There are currently four templates available when you begin a new Doc: Product Brief, Retrospective Summary, Meeting Notes, and Research Synthesis. When you create a new doc and select a template, the template will be added to the doc.

Copying content to Miro Docs
If you’re creating a document from a brainstorming exercise or other content that includes Sticky Notes, you can add those notes directly to the Doc simply by dragging and dropping them. The Sticky Notes will be converted into bullet points within the document.
The same can be done with text boxes that exist on your canvas. Drag and drop them onto your document and their contents will be converted to bulleted text.
Using Miro AI in Docs
Miro AI can be used in docs to edit content, whether AI was used to generate the Doc initially or not. To edit content in a Doc with Miro AI, simply select the content and then click the Miro AIicon in the contextual menu. From there, you’ll have options to:
- Fix grammar and spelling.
- Shorten the text.
- Rewrite for clarity.
- Translate the text.
- Change the tone of the text.
Options for editing a Miro Doc with Miro AI
Using Miro AI to edit your Docs is a great way to speed up the editing process and create more concise, easy-to-read documents.
Collaboration in Miro Docs
Miro Docs allows for real-time collaboration with other users. As with other content on the canvas, cursor tracking is enabled, allowing you to see where in the Doc other users are working.
Inline comments are also possible, with the ability to @mention other users (which notifies them both in the app and via email). Both comment threads and comment reactions are also enabled.
Copying and Sharing Docs
Docs can be copied between boards, but they are not synced for future changes. In other words, any edits made to the Doc on one board will not be made on any additional boards the Doc was copied to or from.
Docs can be shared via link with other users.
