Miro Bulk Sticky Note Color Assigner

WHAT IT DOES

Miro Bulk Sticky Note Color Assigner lets you recolor multiple sticky notes at once. Instead of opening each sticky note individually, clicking the color picker, selecting a color, and saving — repeating this for every single note — this tool provides a unified checklist of all sticky notes on the current board view. You can filter notes by their text content to quickly find the ones you want to recolor. Select any number of sticky notes using checkboxes, choose a new color from the visual color picker dropdown, and click Apply. The tool then automatically processes each selected note — applying the new color through Miro's UI and saving the change. This turns what could be dozens of manual operations into a single batch action, making board organization and visual categorization significantly faster and more efficient.

WHERE IT RUNS

This script runs exclusively on the Miro web application in your browser. It activates on board views where sticky notes are displayed. It requires the BotGentz extension to inject and execute the script. The tool does not work on Miro's desktop app, mobile app, or any third-party wrappers — only the web version accessed through a Chromium-based or Firefox browser. It specifically targets pages under *.miro.com, including the main Miro dashboard and board URLs.

HOW TO USE

After installing the script via BotGentz, open a Miro board that contains sticky notes. The tool automatically detects the board content and displays a floating panel on the right side. The panel shows all sticky notes found on the current board view, with checkboxes next to each note. Each note entry displays a preview of the note's text and a small color swatch showing its current color. Use the filter box to search for specific text within sticky notes to narrow down your selection. Check the boxes for every sticky note you want to recolor. Below the note list, select a new color from the dropdown — the color picker shows a list of available colors with their names. A color preview dot updates in real time as you change the selection. Click "Apply Color" and the tool will process each selected sticky note one by one — opening the color editor, applying the new color, and saving the change. A status message appears when the operation completes, showing how many notes were successfully updated.

THE ACTUAL MECHANISM — WHY IT WORKS

Miro's web interface is built with React and uses a canvas-based rendering system for board content. Sticky notes are rendered as DOM elements with specific class names and data attributes. This tool scans the DOM for sticky note elements using multiple selector patterns that Miro consistently uses across versions. For each note, it extracts the text content and current background color from the element's style or data attributes. The tool assigns a unique identifier to each note based on its DOM ID or data attribute. When applying a new color, the tool uses a combination of approaches: first, it attempts to click the note to select it, then looks for the color toolbar or properties panel that appears, and clicks the matching color swatch. As a fallback, the tool directly modifies the element's background color style. This approach works without making direct API calls, which would require authentication tokens and knowledge of Miro's internal API structure. By using the existing UI, the tool works within Miro's own permission and validation system, and continues to function even if the underlying API changes.

THE PANEL

The floating panel is fully draggable — click and drag the header to reposition it anywhere on the page. The panel's position is saved per site in localStorage, so it reappears exactly where you left it when you return to the board. Double-click the header to snap the panel to the nearest edge (left or right). A collapse button minimizes the panel to a small tab showing a palette emoji badge, keeping it out of the way while still accessible. The sticky note list inside the panel is scrollable and resizes vertically based on the number of notes found. Pressing Escape while the panel is focused closes it completely; reopening is done via a small button injected near the board toolbar. All panel interactions are non-blocking — Miro's main UI remains fully responsive while the panel is open, and the panel updates automatically when you navigate between boards.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the BotGentz extension (free) to run user scripts on Miro. Miro frequently updates its web interface and widget structures; if the tool stops working, check for an updated version within BotGentz's script repository. This tool does not store, transmit, or log any sticky note content or board data — all operations occur locally in your browser with no external network requests except those made by Miro itself. Color updates are applied through Miro's own UI event system, so all changes respect your board permission settings. The tool does not bypass Miro's permission system; it simply automates the clicks you would otherwise perform manually. For very large boards with dozens or hundreds of sticky notes, the tool may take several minutes to complete the operation, as each note is processed sequentially with delays to avoid overwhelming the UI. A progress indicator shows which note is currently being processed. The tool only detects sticky notes currently visible in the viewport or loaded in the DOM; zoom out or scroll to load more notes before refreshing the list. Always double-check your selections before applying changes, as bulk color changes are irreversible through this tool (though Miro's UI allows manual reverts). This tool is designed for batch recoloring — applying the same color to multiple sticky notes simultaneously. It is not designed for making unique, note-specific color changes.
