Miro visual notes is an advanced text editor embedded into each of your boards. Work with text like you would normally do in any text editor to make your notes easy to read.
Miro UI updates in phased rollout

You can easily navigate to the board content from the copy in the notes. To do that you need to select the content and click the arrow icon in the popup:
