Home in MindMeister is the new dashboard for all your recent mind maps. The home screen offers quick access to the most recently modified mind maps. It shows mind maps both created by you and shared with you.

From here, you can find, create, edit and navigate to your mind maps.

Navigation and left sidebar

In the left sidebar, you will find your team name and the number of team members.

From here, you will also be able to l access all your mind maps. The mind maps are divided into the following sections:

• Home: displays your most recently modified mind maps. 
• Team maps: Displays mind maps that are visible to all team members.
• My maps: Displays all private mind maps that you have access to. This includes mind maps that you have created as well as private mind maps that you have been invited to via your email address.
• Favorites: Displays your favorited mind maps for quick access.
• Trash: Lists all mind maps that have been moved to the trash. (Users of the Personal, Pro and Business plans can restore mind maps.)
  
  

Homepage

“Home” is your default start screen when you log in to MindMeister. Here you can see a list of your most recently edited mind maps and quickly access your work.

Specifically, you can see:

• Name: The name of the mind map.
• Location: You can see whether the mind map is in the My maps or Team maps area.
• Created by: The name of the person who created the mind map. This person is usually the Content Manager and has full administrative control over the settings of the mind map.
• Modified: The date of the last revision or update.
  
  

If you have access to private mind maps — you’re a paid MindMeister customer — all mind maps created in Home or in My maps are private by default. Only mind maps created in Team maps are Team maps.

Create new mind maps and access templates

You can create new mind maps from scratch or from a predefined template in the Home header.

Select the plus icon (+) to create a new mind map from scratch, or select one of the listed predefined layouts to create an org chart, meetings notes, or any other template of your choice.

Team maps

The Team maps area shows a list of mind maps that you or your team members have moved to this area. All team members share this view, so everyone will see the same mind maps in this area.

Team mind maps are mind maps that are visible to every user within your team. They offer a collaborative way to share ideas, align, and organize knowledge across your team.

My maps: your personal mind map area

The My maps area is a central location for all your Private mind maps. This view is private and only visible to you. It includes:

• Mind maps that you have created.
• Private mind maps that have been shared with you via your email address.
  
  

This area offers you the greatest flexibility for organizing your mind maps. You can:

• Sort: Arrange your mind maps according to your preferences.
• Organize into folders: Create folders to effectively categorize and manage your mind maps.
• Switch views: Switch between list and grid view to display your mind maps the way you want.

Favorites

The Favorites area shows a list of all mind maps that you have marked as favorites.

To mark a mind maps as a favorite, simply click on the star icon.

Trash

Mind maps can be archived or deleted by moving them to the Trash, located in the left sidebar. Users on Personal, Pro, and Business plans have the ability to recover and restore mind maps from the Trash indefinitely. Learn more about deleting and restoring mind maps.

Switch between Grid view and List view

You can easily switch between grid view and list view in any mind map area. Simply click the grid icon or the list icon depending on your preference.

Sort your mind maps

You can sort mind maps in Team map, My maps, and Favorites. To sort your mind maps:

1. Click the small gray arrow next to the Last modified text box to open the drop-down menu.
2. Choose how you’d like to sort:
   • Last modified: from newest to oldest (date modified)
   • Last created: from newest to oldest (date created)
   • Alphabetically: from A to Z

Please note that it is no longer possible to sort the mind maps from Z to A. It is also no longer possible to sort the list of mind maps from oldest to newest by the date they were last modified.

Notifications

The in-app notifications feature is temporarily unavailable. We are currently redesigning the activity and notification system to improve your experience. A new version of this feature will be released later this year.

Where can I find my public mind maps?

Public mind maps are mind maps that users have intentionally made visible to everyone via the MindMeister Universe, so that anyone can view, copy and reuse them.

All published mind maps can be accessed through the Home, Team maps, or My maps sections. You can easily identify them by the "publishing" icon displayed next to the mind map title.

The Public mind map menu option has been removed from the left sidebar.

A centralized list of all published mind maps is available in the MindMeister universe. To view the list:

1. Open the MindMeister Universe.
2. Click on My Channel in the left sidebar to view all published mind maps.
