What happens to private mind maps when downgrading from a Personal, Pro or Business subscription to a Basic subscription?

Changes on October 14, 2026

Since October 14, 2026, every mind map on every plan is a private mind map. Team mind maps no longer exist, so private mind maps are no longer converted into team maps after a downgrade. To learn more, see Changes to team maps and map limits.


If a user downgrades from a Personal, Pro or Business plan to a Basic plan:

  • The Basic plan's limit of 3 mind maps per user applies. Mind maps that have been shared with you count towards this limit, too.
  • Your 3 oldest mind maps (by creation date) stay available.
  • All other mind maps are grayed out. You can still see them in your list, but you cannot open them. No mind maps are deleted.

How do I regain access to a grayed-out mind map?
