Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a Miro board to view-only access in minutes.

Quick summary

Setting a Miro board to view-only lets you share your visual workspace publicly while preventing unwanted edits. Use the Share settings to grant Viewer access so anyone with the link can see your board without editing privileges.

Steps

Open your Miro board from the dashboard.
Click the Share button to access sharing settings and manage who can view and edit your board.
Review the current access permissions, which are set to restricted by default.
Click the drop-down arrow next to the permission level to open collaboration options.
Select Viewer access to allow others to see your board without any editing privileges.
Confirm that your board is now public — anyone with the URL link can view your visual workspace.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling who can edit a Miro board is essential for teams that need to share visual workflows, project plans, or kanban boards with stakeholders without risking accidental changes. Setting a Miro board to view-only mode protects your work while keeping it fully accessible to anyone with the link. This sharing feature is critical for cross-functional collaboration, client presentations, and read-only dashboards where content integrity matters. Miro's granular permission settings make it easy to switch between no access, viewer, and editor roles in just a few clicks.
