Miro’s slideout modal introduces a third way out
Miro announces its new board interface in a slideout modal that offers a short tour, a trip to the help centre or simply closing it.
Screenshot added to the library in September 2022; its exact capture date wasn’t recorded, and the product may look different today. Write-up reviewed 22 Oct 2026.
At the time of the screenshot, Miro announced a redesigned board interface with a slideout modal in the right-hand corner of the board. Under a preview of the new layout, the heading "Our board interface just got an update" and a short paragraph invite newcomers and Miro experts alike to get the most out of the refreshed, simplified interface. Users can pick Watch tutorial, which starts a four-step tour of the new UI, Visit help center for those who prefer a manual, or close the modal.
Why it works
- Not too disruptive: a slideout in the corner leaves the board usable, yet it’s large enough that nobody misses it.
- Visual support: the preview at the top of the modal shows the new layout, which makes the tour more tempting and some changes clear at a glance.
- A third way out: beyond the usual start-or-skip choice, Visit help center serves users who would rather read than be guided.
