Restoring a board via URL on Free plan
Set up by: Board owner
Available on: browser version, Desktop app, Tablet app
If you have accidentally deleted your board from a free team, there is nothing to worry about - you can easily restore it, as long as you have a URL to it. Deleted boards can be recovered within 30 days after the removal date.
The easiest way to find the board link is to search for the name of the board in your browser history or the email inbox. You can also try to start typing the board name in your browser address bar. The URLs usually look the following way:
https://miro.com/app/board/o9L_kSnC_0=/
Once you’ve recovered the link and opened it in your browser, you will see this window:
The option to restore the board
Click Restore the board and your deleted board will appear on the dashboard.
In case you don't have a URL, feel free to reach out to Miro Support and let us know the name of the board and the date it was deleted - we will check if it is possible to recover the board on our side.
Frequently asked questions
- I lost my board. What do I do?
- Go to Trash and check if you can restore the board from there. If you're on Free plan or cannot find the board in Trash:
1) try to find the board link in your browser history or inbox and restore it by following the link;
2) check all teams by switching between them on the left sidebar of your dashboard;
3) make sure you're authorized in Miro under the correct email (if you have several Miro profiles).
💡 If the board was located in a paid or Education team, check your custom templates with a similar name - it is possible that you initially created a template and not a board.
It is also possible that you were deleted from the team where your board was located. When removing a user, the Admin can reassign the user's boards or delete them. If they remove the boards, they will still be able to restore them within 30 days after the deletion. - I deleted content on my board. Can I restore it?
- Yes, learn more in the article Restoring board content. - I cannot see the Trash icon on my dashboard. Why?
- Please note that Trash is only available on the dashboard of paid and Education teams. A board deleted from a free team can be restored via the board link. - I deleted my team. Is it possible to restore the boards that belonged to the team?
- Please note that removing a team leads to permanent deletion of boards in it and they cannot be restored via UI.
