a map from SharePoint or a web location |
What do you want to do? |
Note: You will only have access to
MindManager's SharePoint features if you are using MindManager
Enterprise. If another user shares a map with you that includes
SharePoint icons, those icons may
be disabled.
You can view and edit maps from a SharePoint or a Web location
using the Open and Save commands in Mindjet. In addition, you
can check out a map that you have opened for editing "offline"
- that is, you can continue to edit and save the map even if you
do not have a connection to the server. When a connection is available,
you check in the map to save the changes to the server.

View a map
- Click File
> Open, click the Open button pull-down, and then
click Open as Read-Only .
This does not lock the file on the server, and opens the map as a read-only
file that you can view, but not edit. You will see a Map Status indicator

You cannot edit this map, but you can save a local copy of it.

copy of a map
This creates a new, unnamed map by duplicating the original from the
server. This new map is independent of the original. You can edit the
map and save it wherever you choose.
Edit and
save a map

This locks the file on the server so you can edit it. Other users cannot
edit the map while it is locked.

| The map is locked on the server, but users do not see who is
editing it. |
The map is locked on the server, and shown as checked out to
you. |
| When you save the map, changes are sent directly to the server
(may be slow). |
When you save the map, your changes are saved locally by default
(faster than saving to the server).
The changed map is not saved to the server until
you check it in. |
| You cannot save your changes as you edit unless you are connected
to the server. |
You can save changes (locally) as you edit without being connected
to the server. You can check in the map when you have a connection
to save your changes to the server. |
| Users who view the map see the changes you have saved. |
Users who view the map do not see the changes you have saved
until you check in the map. |
| The map stays locked until you close it. |

To check out the map:
The first time you check out a SharePoint map, Mindjet shows you the
"Drafts" location, and gives you a chance to change the Offline editing options for SharePoint servers. By default,
Mindjet stores drafts locally. This can make editing your map faster,
and allows you to edit it "offline" when you don't have an internet
connection (for example, if you are on a plane).
In the upper-left mapping window you'll see that the map is checked
out: 
.
To save your changes to the "Drafts" location , but continue
working on the map, do one of the following:

then check it in to send your edited map back to the SharePoint server.
