Printing a mind map

You can use the Print feature in MindView Online to get high-quality printouts of your mind map.

All visible information in the mind map at the time of printing is included in the printed mind map. If you need to show or hide time and task information, collapse or expand branches or otherwise adjust the information shown, do so before printing the mind map. For more information, see "Viewing a mind map".

From the Backstage view, choose Print | Print .

A print preview window opens in the browser.

Adjust the print options as needed, and print the mind map.

More information on the Print feature

If you try to use your browser's built-in Print feature (for example by pressing Ctrl + P or by accessing the Print command from a browser menu), you are asked to use the Print feature in MindView Online instead. The Print feature in MindView Online provides better results than the corresponding browser feature; for example, it allows you to print your mind map without also printing the ribbon.

In order to print roots, branches and other elements correctly with pictures and background colors, you may need to manually select that background graphics should be printed. The print options available depend on the browser you are using; for more information, see the documentation for the browser. The illustration below shows where you can choose to print background graphics in Google Chrome.

Large or complex mind maps may become impossible to read when printed on an A4 or Letter format page and shrunk to size. Try switching to landscape orientation to make more room for the branches, or use the Branch Focus or Detail Level options to show fewer branches in the mind map before printing it. For more information, see "Viewing a mind map" and "Focusing on a branch".

Some browsers may not support printing large maps directly from the browser. If you get an error message warning you of this, use a different browser, or export your mind map as a picture and then print the exported PNG file using any application that supports this. For more information, see "Exporting as a picture".

For a list of supported browsers, see "Browser requirements" under "Welcome".
