How to use a mind map template

  1. 1

    Pick a template

    Use the search box or the categories to find one that fits what you're working on.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Rename the branches, add your own ideas with Tab, and delete anything you don't need.

  3. 3

    Save or export

    Download a PDF or PNG to share, or save a .nmm file so you can keep editing later.

Rather start from scratch?

Open a blank canvas, type your main idea and press Tab to start branching out.
