Step-by-Step Guide
Accessing Templates
To find templates in Miro, start by going to the main menu or click directly on the Templates tab in the toolbar on the board. There you can discover a variety of templates sorted by different categories.
Choosing Templates
The templates are divided into various categories such as "All Templates," "Recent" (recently used), and "Popular." You can also search by specific application areas, such as Meetings, Brainstorming, or Strategies. Simply choose the appropriate category and navigate through the available options.
Using Templates
Once you have chosen a template, you can decide whether to use a blank template or a pre-filled template. A pre-filled template already has placeholder texts that you can customize as needed. With a blank template, you have to start from scratch.
Previewing Templates
To learn more about a template, click on the preview option. This will give you a brief overview and some sample templates associated with it. Use this feature to ensure that the template meets your requirements before inserting it into your board.
Inserting Templates
After selecting the appropriate template, you have the option to insert it blank or pre-filled into your board. When using the blank template, you have the freedom to customize everything individually, while with the pre-filled template, you already have some content that you can customize.
Editing Templates
Once the template is in your board, you can customize it individually. Click on the individual elements to edit their properties. You can add lines and strings as well as change text. When you change text, the template's appearance is also updated – a flexible system that offers you creative freedom.
Working with Blank Templates
A blank template offers ample space for your ideas but requires more effort in design. Note that you can also add elements here through the plus sign. It is important to understand the functions of the template to enable the best use.
