Do one of the following:You can compile and maintain bibliography entries (known as sources) in your maps. When you export a mind map, you can include the sources used in the resulting file as a bibliography in several export file formats.
If you want to add citations to elements of the mind map, you will have to create one or more sources first. It is not, however, necessary to use citations; you can create any number of sources without referring to them, and just use them as a bibliography. See "Using citations" for more information on inserting citations.
Instead of creating sources in MindView Online, you can import them from the Mendeley and Zotero online reference manager systems. This allows you to quickly add sources that you have compiled elsewhere to your mind map.
If you use the MindView Assist app to create research notes, you can add sources to your notes. When you insert a note from the Research panel in your MindView Online document, the source is automatically added to the list of sources in the document. See "Working with folders and sources" for more information on working with sources in MindView Assist.

is cited on a branch or other element of the map, the actual citation
is not deleted but the connection between citation and source is lost.
If you then export the map to Microsoft Word, the exported document will
contain an error message because Word cannot find a source for the citations.
If you edit or delete a source that
you have imported from Mendeley or Zotero, remember that the change only
applies to your MindView Online document, not the reference manager system
you imported the source from. You may want to take steps to ensure that
your sources are consistent everywhere.
