Use other files from a SharePoint or web location

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.

In addition to storing maps on a SharePoint or Web location, you can also use files at these locations with MindManager in the following ways:

Attachments

Add files from the server as attachments that are stored inside the map

Images from files

Add images to topics from SharePoint or Web locations.

Links to files or folders

If you link to a folder at a SharePoint location, the folder contents show in SharePoint's web view.

Links to files behave differently depending on the file type:

  • Maps
    Open in MindManager for editing. The map is locked on the server so no other user can edit it. You can check out the map (on the File tab Info menu) to let other users see that you are working on it. See Edit a map from SharePoint or a Web location for more information.

  • Microsoft Office documents
    Open in their respective applications. the document is opened from the server in Read-only mode. Click Edit document to make changes. When you are finished editing, Save the document to send your changes back to the server.

  • Other files that can be displayed in a browser
    Display  in MindManager's built-in browser , or in your external browser depending on the setting you have chosen for opening links in the Link pull-down menu on the Insert tab. You cannot edit these files.

  • Files that cannot be displayed in a browser
    These can be downloaded and opened in their native applications. Editing the file does not change the source file on the server, but you can upload the edited version to the server to replace the previous version.
