Keyboard Shortcuts
You can also start presenting by pressing Command/ALT + Shift + P
Customize Presentation Slides
Customize presentation and slides are available for mind maps only.
Before presenting, you can group topics together to create slides. Customizing your presentation's slides can help you present ideas at the right level of detail.
If your map has defined slides, presentation mode will move through those slides in order. If you haven't yet defined slides for your map, your presentation will automatically move through topics one by one.
To create slides:
- Open any mind map.
- Click the Presentation icon in the top-right corner of the map editor.
- Select Customize presentation from the drop-down menu.
- Click and drag to group topics for your first slide.
- Repeat to create additional slides.
- Reorder slides (on the right side of the map editor) via click and drag to control the sequence of your presentation.
- Delete slides you no longer need.
Slides are saved with your mind map and are visible to all collaborators.
Slides are used only for presenting — they do not change your map structure or layout.
Navigate Your Presentation
You can navigate through your presentation using the arrow keys or mouse.
- If your map includes slides, use the arrow keys to move forward and back through your slides in order.
- If your map has no slides, use the arrow keys to move between topics in order.
- Press the escape key to exit your presentation.
Export your Presentation
This feature is available to paid users and for mind maps only.
Your customized presentation can be exported as a pdf file. To do this:
- Create custom slides for your presentation.
- Select the Export icon.
- Navigate to the Presentation formats tab.
- Select your favored options and click Export.
Present a Whiteboard
Presenting a whiteboard shows the whole board full-screen and read-only. There are no slides.
- Open a whiteboard.
- Click Presentation in the top-right toolbar, next to Export, or press Command/ALT + Shift + P.
- The grid and the other toolbars are hidden and the board is locked, so nothing moves by accident. You can still pan and zoom around the board.
- Click Exit presentation to leave presentation mode.
Slides and presentation export are for mind maps only
Customize presentation, slides and presentation export are not available for whiteboards.
