Collaborating with visitors
To collaborate with visitors you need to make your board public. While anyone with the link can access a public board, they're not searchable on search engines like Google.
Visitors will be able to view, comment and edit depending on the access level you set and your plan type.
💡 To create the best experience for your visitors, set a start view for your board. You can also hide particular frames if there’s content on the board that’s not relevant for them.
⚠️ Sharing with visitors may not be possible if your Enterprise Admin restricted public sharing.
How to enable access for visitors
- Go to your dashboard and hover over the board card
- Click the three dots in the top right corner
- Click Share
- Set the type of access as Anyone with the link
- Select Can view, Can comment or Can edit depending on the level of access you’d like to grant. You can also protect your board with a password
- Click Copy board link and share it directly with the user you'd like to give access to

How public boards work for visitors
Visitors can view, comment or edit the board depending on their level of board access, and they’ll have access to the board as long as it's public.
Visitors may need to enter a password before opening the board if the board owner or co-owner has added password protection.
⚠️ Inviting visitors with editing access is only available on paid and Education plans.
How it works for visitors with edit access
Use this feature to organize remote meetings (such as PI Planning or sales demos), brainstorming sessions, and workshops with partners or colleagues who either don't have a Miro account yet or don’t have access to your Miro team.
Visitors with edit access can edit board content, add widgets, upload files, leave comments, and more.
Some functionality is not available for visitors. This is to ensure that as a board owner you maintain full control of your board and how you want your visitors to collaborate.
Visitors with edit access will not be able to:
- Change a board name
- Change board sharing settings
- Access the team dashboard
- Access any other boards, only board(s) shared with them via a public link
- Mention others in comments
- Start a video chat/screen sharing/voting session
- Create, edit or add Asana, Jira, Microsoft Azure or Rally cards from the cards picker (however, they will be able to view them)
- Download board backups
- Lock/unlock objects on the board (locked objects are also uneditable)
- Receive any board notifications
- Access the Activity list and restore board content
- Save the board link to Google Drive
- View object info
- Edit boards in a browser on mobile
- Copy board content if this is not allowed in board content settings
- Duplicate or export a board if they're not registered with Miro or if this is not allowed in the board content settings
- Bring collaborators to their view
✏️ Board owners on the Starter, Consultant, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans can configure board content settings and define whether visitors can duplicate the board to their workspaces, download files/images/PDFs pasted on the board, copy widgets, export the board as an image/PDF.
Collaborative apps
Visitors have even more opportunities to participate during meetings and workshops - visitors with edit access can make use of any collaborative apps you’ve installed on your board.
They’ll enjoy access to fun and visual apps like icons, images, stickers, tables and charts, and group activity and participation apps like planning poker and ice breakers.
Apps that are currently available to visitors with editing access:
- IconFinder
- Unsplash
- Wireframe Library
- Charts
- User story map
- Planning Poker
- Brandfetch
- Adobe XD
- Clusterizer
- unDraw Symbols
💡 We’re always adding more apps for better and more exciting collaboration. Keep an eye on the list above for new app additions.
