Use maps and files from SharePoint or web locations

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 create and edit maps and use files stored on a SharePoint site or other document management server in the same ways that you use local documents. What is a document management server? ▼

Once you've established a connection to the server, its folders usually appear as locations under My Network Places (Windows XP) or My Computer (Vista and Windows 7).

When you edit a map from SharePoint or a Web location, it is locked, and other users cannot edit it.

When you edit a map from a SharePoint server, you may want to check out the map. When you check out a map,  the map on the server remains locked, and other SharePoint users will see that you have it checked out. Maps that you check out use offline editing by default.

When you use offline editing, your changes are saved locally in a "drafts" location. This can make saving your map faster, and allows you to edit it even if you don't have an internet connection (for example, if you are on a plane). The edited map is saved back to the server only when you check it back in.

You can change the offline editing option to save drafts to the server. In this case, your changes are saved to the server both when you save the file, and when you check it back in.
