# How to install the extension and download a board from Miro

To move a board from Miro to **flip**, you need to install our browser extension and download a backup of the board. Here's how to do it step by step

## 1. Download the extension

[Download the extension](https://storage.yandexcloud.net/miro-exporter-extension/latest/miro-exporter-latest.zip) — the archive will be downloaded in .zip format

## 2. Unpack the archive

Extract the downloaded file to any folder on your computer.
After unpacking, you will have a folder with the extension files.

## 3. Install the extension in your browser

Open a new browser tab and go to:

* **Google Chrome:** `chrome://extensions`
* **Yandex Browser:** `browser://extensions`

Turn on Developer mode in the top right corner of the page

## 4. Download the board from Miro

Open the board you need in Miro and make sure that **you have edit rights and all elements are unlocked and expanded.** Also, if you delete unnecessary elements in advance, the import may go faster.

Open the installed extension. Click “Скачать копию этой доски” (Download a copy of this board)

Wait for the download to finish. For large boards, this may take a while
