Share a mind map without others having to create an account

Anyone can share a mind map without requiring others to create an account. However, Basic users can share a view-only link, while paid subscribers can provide editing rights through shareable links. Find out more here.


If you don't want other users to create a MindMeister account or log in to view or edit your mind map, please use the Share a mind map via a Shareable Link option above.

In this case, users can access your mind map directly via the link - without logging in - anonymously, depending on the shared role (read or edit).

If the invited user wishes, they can create a free MindMeister account at any time by clicking on “Register”.


Remove Collaborators from Your Mind Map

The users you've invited to your mind map (and the shareable link you've generated) will appear in the manage members menu. Remove users from this list to immediately revoke their access privileges. To do this:

  1. Open the Dashboard
  2. Select the members icon below the map title.
  3. Next to each member, you can select whether and which access the person should have. Click Remove Access from the drop-down menu.

Change Users' Access Privileges

You can modify users' access privileges from the Manage members window. To do this:

  1. Open the Dashboard
  2. Select the members icon below the map title.
  3. From this window, you can manage the users who've been invited to your mind map, including those accessing via a shareable link.
  4. Click on a user's current access privileges (Viewer = can view/Contributer = can edit) to change them.
