Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to lock objects on your Miro board in seconds.

Quick summary

Locking a Miro board prevents collaborators or yourself from accidentally moving or editing objects on the canvas. Use the built-in lock icon to secure any selected element in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Open your Miro board to get started.
  2. Select the Miro objects that you want to lock on the board.
  3. Click the lock icon in the toolbar to lock the selected objects.
  4. Confirm the lock is applied — this prevents accidental moving or editing of the locked object by you or others.

📌 Why this matters

Locking objects on a Miro board is essential for maintaining the integrity of shared visual workspaces, especially in collaborative environments where multiple team members have edit access. The lock feature ensures that key design elements, frameworks, or reference content stay in place while the rest of the board remains editable. This is particularly valuable for facilitators, project managers, and design teams who need to protect finalized layouts during live workshops or async collaboration sessions. By preventing accidental edits, Miro's lock functionality helps teams work faster and with greater confidence on shared canvases.
