- Anyone can comment (without the need to sign in)
- Anyone can view (without the need to sign in)
- Private (as in the board sharing settings on the Miro side, may require Miro sign-in to access the board)
✏️ The access level that you set for the embedded board on the Confluence side does not affect the board sharing settings set on the Miro side. Learn more
✏️ For Enterprise plan Miro users, your access settings will follow organization-wide access controls which might imply that some sharing options may be restricted. Learn more: Managing Enterprise sharing policy for embed integrations

The whole board will be inserted on the page. Once the board is embedded, users can view/comment/edit and navigate around it right within Confluence depending on the access level you set and the access that they have to the board on the Miro side.

Atlassian Smart Link for Miro
You can embed Miro boards into Confluence using the Atlassian Smart Link feature. The feature allows you to automatically embed a board without the need to install a plugin.
✏️ Please note that only those users who have access to the embedded board on the Miro's side will be able to work with the preview after connecting their Miro and Atlassian accounts. If you'd like to make the preview available for all Confluence users, feel free to use the Miro plugin.
Go to a Confluence page and simply paste a board link or type /link to insert. If you use the feature for the first time, you will be asked to connect your Miro account. Click Connect to preview, authorize in Miro, and choose a team from which you will embed your boards.

When you paste a Miro board's link into a Confluence page, it will turn into a Confluence widget automatically. Click the link and you will see the options to display the link as a card or as an embed.
