2026-7: October, Part 2
How we're responding to recent security advisories
Over the past few months, software teams everywhere have faced a steady stream of security advisories for widely used components and services, and many online (SaaS) products have been affected. The Miradi team tracks these advisories closely, checks whether Miradi Share is affected, and patches quickly when it is. This release includes several of those patches:
- Stricter trust for secure connections. A certificate authority reported that some of its certificates were created with weak keys. Miradi Share's servers no longer trust the affected certificates when connecting to the services Miradi relies on, such as sign-in and email.
- Patched mapping server. We updated the server that powers project and program maps to a version that fixes a recently reported vulnerability.
- Tighter access checks on images. Images in project documents and slideshows can now only be viewed or changed from within the project or program they belong to.
- More updates on the way. Updates to several browser components used in Miradi Share are in final testing and will follow in an upcoming release.
You don't need to do anything. If you have questions about Miradi security, please contact us.
2026-6: October, Part 1
API v2 adds read and write access for integrations (Beta)
Miradi Share now offers a second-generation API (API v2) that can both read and write data. Where the existing v1 API only lets other systems read Miradi data, API v2 lets your scripts and integrations read and update programs, projects and project content, such as targets, threats, strategies, indicators and measurements. This is the same API that powers AI agent access.
As of the October release, API v2 is available to members of the Beta Testers group. The existing v1 API has not changed, so any integrations your team already uses will keep working as before. Scripts and reporting tools such as Python, R, ArcGIS Pro and Power BI continue to sign in the same way they do today.
If you are interested in testing the API v2 for your organization, please contact us.
Learn more about the Miradi API.
Use Miradi Share with your AI agent (Beta)
Miradi Share users in the Beta Testers group can now work with their Miradi projects through an AI agent they already use, such as Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT. The agent signs in as you and works with exactly the same permissions you already have in Miradi Share, so it can only see and change the projects and programs you can. Miradi does not host the AI; you bring your own agent. NOTE: As of this release date, only agents that can write commands (typically paid AI plans) can access Miradi via the new API.
Once your agent is connected, you can ask it to:
- Find your projects and programs, or look up a project by name
- Review a project's targets, threats, strategies, indicators and progress
- Check how your conservation targets are doing (viability)
- Trace a results chain from a strategy to its targets
- Compare targets, threats, strategies, indicators and measurements across every project you can see in a program
- Record monitoring measurements and progress reports
- Add, change or remove project content such as targets, threats, strategies, goals, objectives, activities and indicators
- Create a new project in a program from a program template
- Create new results chains or situation models
- Create dashboards summarizing project and program data you have access to
- Search all projects you have access to in Miradi Share, including projects you are a member of and public projects
Learn more about using Miradi Share with AI agents, including which agents currently work with Miradi and how to authorize agent access.
AI agent access is in Beta. If you would like to join the Beta Testers group, or if something is not working as expected, please let us know!
New Beta labels show which features are in early access
Some new Miradi Share features are first released to a small group of beta testers so we can gather feedback before making them available to everyone. To make these early-access features easier to spot, they now carry a gold Beta label, similar to the existing New label.
If you are a member of the Beta Testers group, you will see the Beta label on:
- REPORTS & DATA / Indicator Scorecard
- PROJECT ADMIN / Scorecards
- MIRADI TOOLS / Use Miradi Share with your AI agent, and the heading of the AI agent panel on the Miradi Tools page
If you are interested in being a Miradi Beta Tester, please contact us.
Embedded dashboards come to Miradi Share programs (Beta)
Miradi Share programs can now include a space for embedded dashboards, such as Tableau visualizations that combine Miradi project data with data from other sources. Dashboards can use your organization's own branding, and access is managed through Miradi accounts, so only the people you choose can see them.
This first phase is being tested with select partner programs. If you think your organization or team might be interested in embedded dashboards, please contact us.
Enhanced performance and faster page loads across Miradi Share
We've made behind-the-scenes improvements that make many of the busiest pages in Miradi Share load much faster, especially for large projects. The pages look and work exactly as before; they just respond more quickly. You should notice the difference on:
- My Projects and Explore project lists
- Project overview pages
- Project diagrams
- The factor summary by type
- The project progress view
- The Project Timeline
If there are pages that are still loading slowly for you, please contact us and we'll explore opportunities to enhance performance.
Manage program portfolios more easily
Portfolios let program teams group related projects within a program. Portfolios can be applied in Miradi Share's built-in spreadsheet reports (Data Views), report document templates, and external dashboards to customize reporting and analysis. Miradi users with Program Admin permissions now have enhanced tools for managing portfolios:
- Add projects to an existing portfolio. From PROJECTS / Project List, select one or more projects and add them to a portfolio you already have, or create a new portfolio as before.
- Delete a portfolio. Navigate to PROGRAM ADMIN / Portfolios and click the trash can icon on the far right of the portfolio's row, the same way you delete a project on the Project List page.
- See which portfolios a project already belongs to. In the Edit Portfolio window, a new column lists every portfolio each project is in. This makes it easier to add and remove projects when a project belongs to more than one portfolio.

Copy and delete diagrams from the diagram menu
Some Miradi users had trouble finding where to delete a diagram. Diagram actions are now easier to reach: click the "..." menu next to the diagram name in the diagram dropdown to Copy or Delete the selected diagram. This follows the same "..." menu pattern used in the factor properties panel.
Share existing factors from anywhere you add a factor
Miradi allows users to "Share" factors across diagrams, so your project keeps a single copy of each key factor rather than creating duplicate content unintentionally. Until now, the quickest option for adding factors to diagrams was usually to add a brand-new factor, and sharing took a few extra steps. In response to feedback from Miradi users, Miradi Share now offers a Share from option wherever you can add a new factor, making it just as easy to add a factor that already exists in your project. Learn more about why it is important to Share rather than Copy or create new duplicate factors.
Share factors in diagrams
There are two new ways to share an existing factor onto a diagram:
- In the Add Factors panel, choose Share from to pick a factor that already exists elsewhere in your project.
- Right-click on an empty spot on the diagram canvas and choose Add New or Share from.
Add and share factors in tree views
Tree views now offer the same options:
- Share from is available in Results Chain and Situation Model tree views wherever you can add a factor.
- For the first time, you can add Targets and Human Wellbeing Targets directly in the Target Viability and Target Impact trees, either as a new target or shared from an existing one.
- Copy from is now available for child elements in tree views, as it already is in diagrams, including the SMART guide for Goals and Objectives.
2026-4: July–August
Assign people and leaders faster in work plan views
In response to feedback from teams doing their work planning in Miradi Share, assignments are now quicker to set up in work plan views:
- Add or remove several people at once. When you add or delete assignments in a work plan view, you can now select several people in one step.
- Pick leaders right in the work plan view. You can now choose and change an action's assigned leaders without leaving the work plan view. Leaders are marked with an asterisk (*).
Learn more about work planning in Miradi Share.
Delete projects from a program's Projects list
Program teams can now clean up their project lists without opening each project. On the program's Projects list, program members with appropriate permissions can use a trash can icon at the far right of each row to delete projects. You see the same confirmation window as when you use Delete Project from inside a project, and only users with permission to delete the project can use it.
Learn more about project and program member roles.
Connect Power BI and your scripts with secure sign-in
If your organization pulls Miradi data into Power BI or runs scripts against the Miradi API, there are new tools that use your normal Miradi Share sign-in instead of a stored username and password. The old password-based sign-in for the API is being retired, so teams using it will need to switch.
On the Miradi Tools page:
- Power BI Data Connector 2.0. The updated connector signs in through your browser with your Miradi Share account. It also supports scheduled refreshes in the Power BI Service through an on-premises data gateway. Existing reports keep working: install the new connector, trust its signing certificate, and sign in again. You don't need to rebuild your datasets.
- Miradi Auth Helper. A small command-line tool for scripts and other API clients. You sign in once in a browser, and your scripts then get a valid sign-in token automatically, including on servers without a screen.
Both downloads include installation guides. To use them you need API access on your Miradi account and a Program Manager or Program Admin role on the programs you load.
Learn more about the Miradi API and Power BI.
A new Miradi Tools page
The Miradi Desktop download page is now the Miradi Tools page, with a fresh design. This page will continue to expand as we develop additional tools for integrating Miradi with other systems, using AI agents, and using Miradi offline.
2026-3: July Release Notes
A new, more secure way to sign in to Miradi Share
Miradi Share has a new sign-in system. It replaces the identity service Miradi has used for several years (Keystone), which its vendor is retiring. The new system is built on current sign-in standards, works smoothly with organizational single sign-on (SSO), and gives you more control over your own account.
The first time you sign in after this release, you will be asked to set a new password. Your projects, programs and permissions are unchanged.
If your organization pulls Miradi data into Power BI or runs scripts against the Miradi API, we will contact you directly about moving off Keystone to a new tool that uses your normal Miradi Share sign-in.
Account setup process is streamlined
Account setup now happens on a single page, where you can:
- Choose or confirm your plan
- Request to join your organization, so your team can find you
- Accept the End User License Agreement
- Choose which Miradi emails you want to receive
Learn more about creating your Miradi account.
Manage your account yourself
On your My Account page (accessible in the upper right of the window under your name), you can now update your name and reset your password.
If you sign in through your organization's SSO, or using a personal Google or Microsoft account, the My Account page shows how you sign in. In these cases you manage your password with your organization, or in your Microsoft or Google account. Learn more about recovering or changing your account information.
A redesigned Miradi Share home page
The public Miradi Share home page has a fresh new design! It shows what Miradi can do at a glance, with example projects you can explore, a walk-through of the Conservation Standards steps, and stories from teams who use Miradi. New buttons make it easy to create an account or schedule a demo, and the page now works well on phones and tablets. Over the next 6 months, you will see similar updates throughout Miradi Share to provide easier access to information for Miradi users and public viewers.
Platform updates and faster loading
We continue to make updates that ensure we are meeting the highest security standards and enhancing performance whenever possible:
- Up-to-date building blocks. We upgraded the main frameworks behind the Miradi Share interface, including the diagram and table components, and replaced discontinued libraries. Keeping these current means we get their security fixes as soon as they are released.
- Faster first load. Miradi Share now compresses its application files and lets your browser cache them. Pages load noticeably faster, especially on slower connections and for users far from our servers.
2026-2: March–April
Security and reliability updates
These releases focused on keeping Miradi Share secure and dependable behind the scenes. Nothing changes in how you use Miradi Share.
Security patches: We upgraded the core framework that runs Miradi Share to a long-term support version and updated several other software components. These updates close a number of publicly reported security vulnerabilities, including one rated critical.
More reliable connections. We fixed occasional database connection errors that could interrupt an action in Miradi Share.
2026-1: December–January
Miradi Share moves to Amazon Web Services
In early 2026, Miradi Share moved to a new home on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Miradi has been hosted on Microsoft Azure since 2023, and this move to AWS gives us a modern, well-supported platform to keep Miradi Share secure, reliable and fast as more teams use it.
What this means for you: nothing changes in how you use Miradi Share. The web address, your account, and all of your projects and programs are the same, and Miradi Share data continues to be hosted in the United States. If you have questions about what this means for data security at your organization, contact us.
