Differences Between the Latest Editor and the Legacy Editor

Have any Keyboard Inputs or Shortcuts Been Changed in the New Editor?

No - all keyboard inputs remain the same in the new editor. The ENTER and TAB keys remain your most important shortcuts for creating new topics.

The most significant change to the new editor is the main toolbar. The toolbar replaces the right sidebar in the legacy editor. It can be used to stylize your map and perform advanced actions.

To open the styling toolbar, click on any topic:

The styling toolbar contains different options:

• Actions: You can Add connections, comment, add notes, upload images, add attachments, and assign tasks in MeisterTask.
• Style: You can change a topic's appearance.
• Icons: Add an icon or emoji to a topic.
• Layout: Click this icon in the vertical toolbar to change the selected topic's layout.
• More Options (...): Cut, copy or edit your map topic.
