How to use the canvas playground template
The canvas playground template is structured into several key sections, each designed to showcase different features of Miro's Intelligent Canvas:
Intelligent widgets
The intelligent widgets section includes several tools designed to enhance collaboration and decision-making:
Poll widget: This widget allows you to create and embed survey questions directly onto your boards. You can enter your survey question and answer options, then start the poll to enable voting. Once the poll is complete, results will be displayed on the board.
Dot vote widget: This widget facilitates voting during meetings. Team members can drag and drop dots onto sticky notes or cards to cast their votes. The dots will move with the objects they are attached to, making it easy to rearrange without losing votes.
Story point widget: Ideal for sprint planning, this widget lets team members vote on story points for tasks or projects. Similar to the dot vote widget, story points can be dragged and dropped onto cards or sticky notes, and they will update the relevant fields automatically.
People widget: This widget helps you add team members to objects on your canvas. You can drag a team member's avatar onto a task or card to assign it to them. The widget shows logged-in users who are active on the board and allows you to search for and pin anyone in your organization.
Timeline widget: This widget enables you to create detailed project timelines. You can add tasks, set deadlines, and visualize the project flow, helping you keep track of progress and deadlines.
AI Sidekicks
AI Sidekicks are AI companions designed to assist with various tasks on the canvas. They can provide expert advice, generate next steps or to-do lists, and offer feedback on content clarity and conciseness. AI Sidekicks can be invoked from a button in a template and will appear on the board as participants, completing predefined jobs like adding comments or writing documents.
Create with AI
The "Create with AI" section allows you to leverage AI-powered tools to generate content, organize ideas, and automate tasks.
