Description

Customers importing Miro boards into Confluence whiteboards struggle to resize new elements to match the imported content.

Two main issues:

1. Shapes can’t be made small enough
   Whiteboard shapes (like triangles) have a minimum size. Customers can’t shrink them to an “icon” size (for example, a small dropdown arrow/chevron).
2. New shapes don’t match imported Miro content
   On large imported Miro boards, the existing content often appears “bigger” than new whiteboard shapes. Even at their minimum size, new shapes look too large next to the imported elements.

Example:
A customer tried to add a small triangle to indicate a dropdown menu on an imported Miro board. They hit the minimum size limit and couldn’t make the triangle small enough to look like a UI icon.

Current behaviour

• Shapes on whiteboards stop shrinking once they reach a built‑in minimum size.
• There is no way to:
  • Reduce this minimum size, or
  • Rescale an imported Miro board so new shapes match its scale.

Requested change

• Let shapes be much smaller
  • Allow shapes (especially basic ones like triangles and arrows) to be resized significantly smaller than today.
  • Alternatively, add a set of “icon / annotation” elements with very small minimum sizes for things like dropdown arrows, UI indicators, and fine annotations.
• Improve scaling with imported Miro boards
  • Provide a way to adjust the scale of an imported Miro board so default shapes don’t look oversized compared to existing content.

Why this matters

• Teams moving from Miro expect similar control over element size and fidelity.
• Product / design / UX teams need small arrows, triangles, and icons for UI flows and detailed diagrams.
• Today, diagrams can look clumsy, and customers need awkward workarounds, which slows adoption of whiteboards.

Workaround

• Use small text characters (for example, “v” or “▼”) instead of triangle shapes for dropdown indicators.
• Treat the imported Miro board as a mostly static reference and rebuild only key areas with new shapes at a different scale.
