# How do you get a non-designer productive in Miro when the feature range feels like a lot at first?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If half the room in a workshop has never opened <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/miro/reviews">Miro</a>, the way to get a non-designer productive when the feature range feels like a lot at first is a prepared template with the structure already in place. Newcomers then only need sticky notes and images, while the person running the session handles frames and layout. Going by G2 reviews, the wide range of features is what new users describe as a lot to take in, and the AI tools are where they'd like more examples in context.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">In <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/visual-collaboration-platforms">visual collaboration</a> sessions, the feature range mostly belongs to whoever builds the board. The basics participants touch are what people describe as intuitive: drag-and-drop tools, sticky notes for quick brainstorming and templates that structure a meeting. That makes Miro a good fit for facilitator-led sessions, where a first-timer can contribute within minutes because someone else has already made the structural decisions.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">The first five minutes seem to matter more than any feature.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Do you run a short walkthrough before a session, or let people learn as they go? And do remote participants need a different start from people in the room, since they can't just ask the person next to them?</p>

&lt;p&gt;A prepared template is the easiest starting point. If first-timers only need to add sticky notes or images, they can contribute immediately without learning Miro’s full feature set first.&lt;/p&gt;
