Summary
Copying a Miro board creates a fully independent duplicate of your content, layout, and frames, letting you reuse work without touching the original. It's especially useful for teams that repeat workshops, templates, or project kickoffs and want a consistent starting point every time.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the board you want to copy
From your Miro dashboard, click into the board you want to duplicate so it's fully loaded in the editor view. Make sure you have at least edit access, since viewer-only permissions won't show the copy option.
Step 2
Find the board options menu
Look for the three-dot menu icon in the top-right toolbar of the board, next to the share button. Clicking it opens a dropdown with board-level actions, including duplication and export options.
Step 3
Select 'Make a copy'
From the dropdown menu, choose the 'Make a copy' option. Miro immediately begins generating a duplicate that includes every sticky note, frame, connector, and embedded element from the original board.
Step 4
Choose a destination team or workspace
A dialog box will ask where you want the copy saved. Select any team or workspace you belong to, which is helpful if you're duplicating a board built with templates for a new client or project.
Step 5
Rename the copy
Miro automatically labels duplicates with 'Copy of' before the original board name. Rename it to something clear and specific so your team can tell it apart from the source board at a glance.
Step 6
Review content and sharing settings
Open the new board and check that all frames, notes, and images copied correctly. Since sharing permissions don't carry over automatically, revisit access settings and invite collaborators who need to work on the copy.
Why this matters
You've just spent hours designing a perfect retrospective layout or planning board, and now a teammate needs the same setup for a different project. Instead of rebuilding it manually, copying the board gives them an identical starting point in seconds while keeping your original untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Does copying a Miro board also copy comments and chat history?
No, comments, chat threads, and activity history stay with the original board. The copy only includes visual content like sticky notes, shapes, frames, and images.
Can I copy a board to a different team on the free plan?
Yes, as long as you're a member of both teams, you can select any available team or workspace as the destination when making the copy.
Will the copied board have the same sharing permissions as the original?
No, sharing and invite settings reset on the new copy. You'll need to configure permissions again through the share button on the duplicated board.
Can I turn a copied board into a reusable template instead?
Yes, once you've customized the copy, you can save it as a custom template from the board menu so future duplicates start from that version.
