Why should you use this feature?

Miro is an innovative online platform designed for seamless collaboration and visual planning.

In the realm of mind mapping on a Miro board, turning the auto layout feature on or off offers flexibility in organizing ideas. This feature allows for automatic arrangement of elements, ensuring a clean and structured visual presentation.

Activating auto layout assists in maintaining a tidy workspace, which can enhance productivity and clarity. Turning it off, however, grants users the freedom to manually position nodes, catering to personalized mapping styles.

Effectively utilizing this feature streamlines the brainstorming process, making it easier to capture and present complex ideas.
