Switch to Outline Mode in the bottom-left corner of the map editor to view and edit your MindMap as a bulleted text outline.
Switch to Outline Mode
You can switch to Outline Mode via the pop-up menu in the bottom-left corner of the map editor:
- Open a mind map.
- Click Mind Map or Outline in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
The hierarchy of your mind map will be reflected in the structure of your outline list. Your map’s central topic will become the main heading, first-level topics will become subheadings, etc.
Remember!
Outline mode is only available on the web app.
Print or Export an Outline:
Export and print your mind map - An outline is automatically added to the export.
To export your outline as a file, export your mind map as Markdown and clear the Show as Mermaid diagram checkbox. Your map is then exported as an indented list.
Exporting and printing are available on the Personal, Pro and Business plans.
Edit Your Map in Outline Mode
Once in Outline Mode, you can edit topics and rearrange your mind map from a new perspective.
- To create a new topic, press ENTER.
- To change a topic's hierarchy level, use TAB and Shift + TAB.
- To move a topic, highlight the topic and press CTRL + UP or CTRL + DOWN.
- Click the expand arrow next to a topic to toggle between showing/hiding its sub-topics.
Tip
Be sure that your list is properly formatted in your word processor. Use separate lines (Return) to create new topics and use indentations (Tab) to show sub-topics and hierarchies.
