How to Collapse or Expand Topics

 

Why Collapse or Expand Topics?

 

• Expand topics to see more detail at each level of your mind map.
• Collapse topics to hide details and see a more simplified overview.
•  

You can collapse and expand topics with your mouse or keyboard.

 

Levels of detail

 

You can choose between 3 levels of detail for your mind map: 

One Level: Only the topics connected directly to the selected topic are shown.

Two Levels: The topics connected directly to the selected topic and every topic connected to these are shown.

All: All topics connected to the selected topic are shown. 

 

 Collapse or Expand Topics with your Mouse(pad)

 

1. Right-click on the topic you wish to expand or collapse.
2. Choose “Show Detail”
3. Select the level of detail you wish to see.

 

Collapse or Expand Topics via Key Shortcuts

 

Please note: The keyboard shortcuts only work for the entire mind map, not for each topic.

 

1. Enter Alt+1 (Option+1 on Mac) for one level, Alt+2 (Option+2) for two levels, or Alt+9 (Option+9) for all levels
