Quick answer
Open your Miro board, click the Share icon in the top-right corner, then enter collaborators' email addresses and set their permission level (Viewer, Commenter, or Editor). Alternatively, generate an invite link to share directly. Click Send or Copy link, and collaborators will receive access to join and edit the board immediately.

Summary
Inviting collaborators to a Miro board lets teammates view, comment on, or edit your work in real time, no matter where they're located. Miro offers two invite methods — direct email and shareable links — plus granular permission controls so you decide exactly who can do what on each board.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the board you want to share
From your Miro dashboard, open the board you plan to collaborate on. If you haven't started one yet, follow the guide on how to create a board first, then return here once it's ready to share.
Step 2
Click the Share button
In the top-right corner of the board, click the Share button. This opens the invite panel where you can add people by email or generate a shareable link.
Step 3
Enter email addresses or generate a link
Type the email addresses of the people you want to invite, separating multiple addresses with commas. Alternatively, switch to the 'Invite with link' tab to create a link you can paste into chat, email, or a project tracker.
Step 4
Set the permission level
Next to each invite, choose a role: Viewer (can only look), Commenter (can leave comments but not edit), or Editor (full editing rights). This step controls who can move sticky notes, add content, or restructure your layout, so pick permissions based on how much control each person needs.
Step 5
Send the invite or copy the link
Click Send Invite for email invites, or click Copy Link if you're sharing manually. Recipients with an email invite get a direct notification, while link recipients simply click the link and join the board.
Step 6
Verify collaborators have joined
Check the list of people on the board, visible via the Share panel or the avatar icons in the top-right corner, to confirm your invitees have accepted and joined. This is especially useful before starting a live session like a retrospective or agile planning meeting.
Step 7
Adjust access as needed
Reopen the Share panel anytime to change someone's permission level, resend an invite, or remove access entirely. Keeping this list current helps you maintain control over who can view or edit sensitive boards.
Why this matters
You've built a board for a workshop, retrospective, or planning session, and now your team needs access before the meeting starts. Inviting collaborators correctly means everyone can jump in with the right permissions, avoiding accidental edits and keeping sensitive boards restricted to only the people who need them.
Frequently asked questions
Do collaborators need a Miro account to join a board?
Yes, in most cases collaborators need to create a free Miro account to actively edit or comment. Viewers with a link can sometimes preview content without signing up, but editing requires an account.
Can I limit who sees my board using an invite link?
Yes. In the Share panel, set the link sharing option to invite-only so that only people you've directly invited by email can access the board, even if they have the link.
What's the difference between Viewer, Commenter, and Editor roles?
Viewers can only look at the board, Commenters can add comments without changing content, and Editors have full rights to add, move, and delete elements like sticky notes or shapes.
