As your mind map grows, parts of it may fall outside the display area and no longer be visible. MindView Online provides various viewing options that help you retain an overview of large mind maps.
You can minimize the ribbon and hide the panels and text editor to make more room for the mind map in the map workspace. For more information, see "Navigating the map workspace".
You can use the scroll bars or your mouse wheel to bring parts of the mind map outside the display area back into view:
Scroll your mind map using the vertical scroll bar or the mouse wheel.
Pan your mind map using the horizontal scroll bar or by holding down Shift while using the mouse wheel.
It can be useful to collapse one or more branches to get a better overview of large mind maps.
Click the minus sign next to a branch to collapse it and hide its sub-branches. The minus sign changes into a plus sign.
Click the plus sign to expand the collapsed branch again.
The design of the minus and plus signs depends on the style of the mind map. For more information on styles, see "Designing a mind map".
You can press the Tab button on the keyboard to move the selection from one element in the map workspace to the next one. For example, if you have selected the root and then press Tab, the first main branch below the root is selected instead. If you press Tab repeatedly, you will move through all selectable elements in order.
Pressing Shift + Tab achieves the same thing but in reverse order.
You can apply a numbering scheme to the branches of your mind map, making it easier to identify where a particular branch belongs in the hierarchy.
Choose Home, and click the label below the Numbering Scheme button to select a numbering scheme in the menu.
Choose Home | Numbering Scheme to toggle the selected numbering scheme on or off. If you have not selected a numbering scheme, the default scheme will be used.
You can select how many levels of sub-branches should be displayed in your mind map.
Choose View | Detail Level .
Select the desired detail level in the menu.
At detail level 1, only the first level of branches below the root is displayed. Adding levels (up to detail level 4) will display more levels of branches (if any) in the mind map.
To show all detail levels, select Show All Levels .
When printing a mind map, only the visible branches are printed. If you need to print the entire mind map, show all detail levels before printing. For more information, see "Printing a mind map".
You can select how much time and task information, if any, should be displayed under the root and branches of the mind map. For more information about time and task information, see "Entering time and task information".
Choose View | Show/Hide .
Select the data you want to display in the menu.
The selected data is shown underneath the root and each branch in the entire mind map.
You can select which data to display for individual branches under the Format tab. For more information, see "Formatting a branch".
When printing a mind map or exporting it as a picture, all visible data in the mind map is included in the print-out or the exported picture. For more information, see "Printing a mind map" and "Exporting as a picture".
You can zoom in and out to change the level of magnification of your mind map. See "Zooming in and out" for more information.
You can focus on a particular branch in the mind map. See "Focusing on a branch" for more information.
You can use branch connections to quickly jump from branch to branch in your mind map. For more information, see "Creating branch connections".
