Use maps online in Mindjet Files
Use maps online in Mindjet FilesYou can create, upload, edit, manage, and share your maps with other users using commands on the Mindjet Files window toolbar.
You can add maps to Mindjet Files by creating new maps or uploading maps that you have already created with another Mindjet application. You can also use the Mindjet for Mac Save As command to save maps directly to Mindjet Files. Once a map is online in Mindjet Files, you can access it from any Mindjet application.
Note: Your role in the account and your own access rights determine your ability to use certain online features in Mindjet. If performing an action is not permitted, the command will be disabled. (For more information about the different permissions levels, see Understand Access rights.)
To create a map online in Mindjet Files:
On the Mindjet Files window toolbar, click New, and then click New Map.
The map is added to the Files list with the name Map.mmap. You can rename it.
Double-click the map name, then select "Check out and Open" to open it for editing so you can add content.
See the Mindjet for Mac Help for more information about mapping.
Initially, when a map is created it is only accessible by the user who created it, and by the account’s Owner and Administrator(s). You can give other users access to it by sharing it with them.
If you have maps that you created with Mindjet stored locally on your computer, you can upload them to Mindjet Files. Once uploaded, the maps are stored online in Mindjet's cloud.
To upload a map:
Select the account or folder where you want to upload the map.
On the Mindjet Files window toolbar, click Upload.
In the dialog, select the map you want to upload, and then click Upload.
The uploaded map appears in the location you selected. Initially, when a map is uploaded it is only accessible by the user who uploaded it, and by the account’s Owner and Administrator(s). You can give other users access to it by Sharing it with them.
Note: If you upload a map that has links to other maps and files, you should upload these files at the same time. Once uploaded, you must edit the map’s attachments and hyperlinks to point to the uploaded files, otherwise they will continue to point to local copies on your computer.
You can save a map that you have open in Mindjet for Mac directly into Mindjet Files online.
On the Mindjet window ribbon, choose File > Save or File > Save As.
Use the Save To option in the dialog to select
Mindjet Files, then
select an account and folder.
You must have Edit permission for the account or folder you choose.
Click Save.
Once the map is saved, a dialog appears with the following choices:
Read-Only leaves the map open for viewing. You cannot edit it.
Check Out lets you continue editing the map. Your edits will be saved online in Mindjet Files when you check it in.
In the Mindjet Files window, the map appears in the location you selected. Initially, when a map is saved to Mindjet Files it is only accessible by the user who saved it, and by the account’s Owner and Administrator(s). You can give other users access to it by Sharing it with them.
When you want to view a map from Mindjet Files, you open it as a Read-Only file. When you open a map in this way it is still available for editing by other users. If a map is checked out by another user, you can still view it.
Note: If you want to edit the map, follow these steps .
To view a map:
Do one of the following:
In the Mindjet Files window Files list, select the map, and then on the toolbar, click Open.
Hint: Double-click the map icon in the Files list to open it.
On the Mindjet window toolbar, choose File > Open. Use the Open From option in the dialog to select Mindjet Files, select the map, and then click Open.
In the Open dialog, select Read-Only and then click Open.
Hint: If you've opened
this map before, you can open it by choosing File
> Open Recent, or you can open
it from the Map Chooser's Recent Documents list. Maps from Mindjet Files
display special icons 
to differentiate them from
local maps 
.
The map opens in the Mindjet window. You'll see a read-only indicator
at upper-left to remind you that you cannot edit this map:
Maps are automatically opened in Read-Only mode (without prompting) if:
You open the map from the Recent Documents list.
You have Read-Only access to the map.
The map has been checked out by another user (indicated
by 
in
the Files list).
You are working offline and you have not checked out the map.
If you want to edit a map you must check it out. When you check out a map, you effectively lock it: other users cannot edit it, though they can open a read-only copy. Other users also cannot delete or move a map that is checked out.
When you are finished editing the map, check it back in so that others can view the revised map or check out and edit it themselves.
Note:
You cannot check out a map that is already checked out () or that is being edited
by another user (
). While waiting
for the map to be checked back in, you can open a read-only copy.
To check out a map:
In the Mindjet Files window, select the map that you want to check out in the Files list.
On the toolbar, click Check Out, or choose File > Mindjet Files > Check Out.
note: you can have multiple files checked out at the same time.
The map is shown as checked out by you in Files
list with an icon 
.
Click Open on the Mindjet Files window toolbar, or double-click the map name in the Files list to open it for editing.
hint: to quickly open a map that you have already checked out, choose File > Open Checked Out, and then click the map name in the list of check-out maps.
The map status indicator at upper-left shows that
you have the map checked out:
Edit the map (close and save it if you wish). You can continue editing the map whether you are working online (connected to Mindjet) or offline.
Note: Do not use the Save As command to save the map to a different location. Mindjet will not be able to locate the edited map when you want to check it back in.
If you close the map, it remains checked out. You can open it again at any time from the Mindjet menu by choosing File > Open Checked Out and then selecting the map.
When you are done editing, follow the instructions below to check in the map and save your changes online. If you don't want to save the changed file online, you can discard the checkout.
Once you’ve finished editing a map, you need to check it in to save your changes online to Mindjet Files, and unlock it so that others can edit it. If you have been working offline, you must re-connect to Mindjet to check in your map.
If you still have the map open:
Choose File
> Mindjet Files > Check In.
The map is closed, checked in and unlocked.
If you do not have the map open:
In the Mindjet Files window Files list, select the checked-out map you want to check in.
On the toolbar, click Check In. The map is checked in and unlocked.
Other users can now check out and edit the map.
Sometimes you check out a map, then change your mind about editing it, or you want to discard the edits you made. Since you do not want to save your changes, you do not need to check it in. You can simply discard the check out to unlock the map.
To discard a check out, follow the steps above, but choose Discard Checkout instead of Check In.
When a map is shared with users, those users are assigned an Access level for the map that determines whether they can edit or only view it. You can change the Access levels for users in the Details pane file access list.
Note: Your role in the account and your own access rights determine your ability to change Access levels for other users. If performing an action is not permitted, the command will be disabled. (For more about the different permission levels, see Understand access rights.)
In the Mindjet Files window Files list, select the map that you want to change the Access levels for.
The Access list in the Details pane lists all account members who currently have access to the map.
Click the user's Access level you want to change.
The available Access level options will vary depending upon the type of user, and (if the map is in a folder) their Folder Access. For more information, see Understand access rights.
Select the Access level you want for this user:
Read-Only allows a user to open and view the map. With this level of access, the user cannot delete, edit, download, or check out the map, and they cannot share it.
Edit allows a user to delete, edit, download, and check out the map. Members with this Access level can share the map with others.
Unshare revokes the user's access to the map. They can no longer view or edit the map.
In the Files list, select the map name, then click again. The filename becomes an entry field.
Type the new name and press return.
Note:
You cannot rename a map that is checked
out ( or
