Summary

Comments in Miro let you attach feedback, questions, or notes directly to any point on a board without moving or editing the content itself. This keeps discussions anchored to specific ideas, making it easier for teams to review work asynchronously or during live sessions.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open the board you want to comment on

    Sign in to Miro and open the board from your dashboard. You need editor or commenter access to leave feedback, so confirm the board owner has shared it with you before proceeding.

  2. Step 2

    Select the Comment tool

    Click the speech-bubble Comment icon in the left-side toolbar. Your cursor changes to a comment marker, ready to drop feedback anywhere on the canvas.

  3. Step 3

    Click the location or object to comment on

    Click directly on a sticky note, shape, image, or empty canvas area where the feedback applies. If you're commenting on notes created while you add sticky notes, click the note itself so the comment stays attached even if it's moved later.

  4. Step 4

    Type your comment and mention teammates

    A text box opens next to the marker. Type your feedback, and type @ followed by a name to tag a collaborator — they'll get a notification even if they aren't currently viewing the board.

  5. Step 5

    Post the comment

    Click Post (or press Enter) to publish your comment. It appears as a numbered pin on the board and in the comment panel, which you can open from the top toolbar to see every conversation at once.

  6. Step 6

    Reply, resolve, or delete a comment

    Click any comment pin to open the thread, then type a reply to continue the discussion. Once the feedback is addressed, click the checkmark to resolve it, or use the three-dot menu to edit or delete your own comment.

  7. Step 7

    Check comments on mobile

    Open the Miro mobile app, tap the board, then tap the comment icon in the toolbar to add or view comments on the go. Comment pins sync instantly across desktop and mobile so nothing gets missed.

Why this matters

You're reviewing a teammate's workshop board and spot a diagram that needs clarification, but editing it directly feels intrusive. Adding a comment lets you flag the issue precisely, tag the right person with @mention, and keep a visible record of the conversation without disrupting anyone's layout.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need a paid Miro plan to add comments?

    No. Commenting is available on Miro's free plan for anyone with access to a board, whether they're an editor or a commenter-level collaborator.

  • Can viewers with view-only access leave comments?

    It depends on the sharing settings the board owner chose. Some view-only links still allow commenting, while stricter settings limit visitors to viewing content only.

  • How do I see all comments on a board at once?

    Open the comment panel icon in the top toolbar to view every comment thread in one list, rather than clicking through individual pins on the canvas.

  • Can I comment from the Miro mobile app?

    Yes. The mobile app includes the same comment tool, and any comment you add syncs immediately to the desktop version of the board.
