Save the current map

You can save the currently-open map in several ways:

The Save command saves the map with the same name and location and the current map remains open.

The Save as command saves the map with a different name or in a different location, the current map closes, and newly-saved map opens.

The Save a Copy command works like Save as, except that the current map remains open.

Mindjet Catalyst - Workspace maps are saved automatically - each change you make to the map saved in real time, as it happens.
You can use the Save As command to save a workspace map as a map, Map Template or map style as either a local copy, or to a workspace

Save the map with the same name

  1. Do any of the following:

  1. If this is a new map:

Use the MindManager Save options to set the default folder for maps.

The map remains open in the MindManager mapping window.

Save the map with a different name or in a different location

  1. Click the MindManager Button, and then click Save As.

  2. In the Save As dialog, choose a Save in location, enter the File name, then click Save.

The new maps opens in the MindManager mapping window.

To export your map in another format you can choose a different format in the Save As dialog Save as type list .

Save a copy of the map

When you save a copy of a map, the current map remains open. Any changes you subsequently make to the map will not affect the copy you've saved.

  1. Click the MindManager Button, click the Save arrow, and then click Save a Copy.

  2. Enter the file name and location in the Save As dialog, then click Save.

Save the map in XML format

  1. Click the MindManager Button, and then click the Save As arrow.

  2. Click MindManager Map (XML)

  3. In the Save As dialog, choose a Save in location, enter the File name, then click Save.

The map is saved as an ".xmmap" file. If you continue to edit the map, then use the Save command, your changes will be saved to this file.

Save workspace maps

Changes to workspace maps are saved automatically as you make them. When you are finished editing you can simply close the map - no need to save it.

Save a local map to a workspace
Save a workspace map to a different workspace

You can save a local map to a workspace or save a workspace map from one workspace to another using the Save As or Save a Copy commands described above: Choose Workspaces as the Save in location, then select a workspace.

If you use the Save as command to save the map to a workspace, you'll see the map name change in the application title bar to indicate that you are now working with the new workspace map (for example Gamma workspace: Project Plan). Any changes you make will only affect the new map, and not the original.

If you use the Save a Copy command to save the map to a workspace, you'll continue working with the original map.

To send a copy of a local map to a workspace instantly, right-click the map background, click Send to workspace, then click the workspace name. The local map remains open as your current map.

Workspace maps can be saved locally using the Save As or Save a Copy commands.

Save the map as a filtered copy

If you have filtered the map, you can save just the visible topics in a new map.

  1. Click the MindManager Button, click the Save As arrow, and then click Copy of Filtered Map.

  2. In the Save As dialog, choose a Save in location, enter the File name, then click Save.

Encrypt map with passwords

You can protect your map so that no one can open it without knowing the password.

  1. Click the MindManager Button, click Prepare, and then click Encrypt Document.

  2. Enter the password(s) for the map and click OK.

  3. Save the map.

From now on, you cannot open the map or modify it without entering the password (s).
