Export maps

Standard export options

Export an HTML5 map

When you create an HTML5 map, MindManager exports the current map as an .html file in HTML5 format that can be viewed independently from MindManager. The exported map is self-contained and interactive: Viewers can expand and collapse branches, view notes, attachments, links, comments, and more.

Not all map elements are supported. See the HTML5 map feature support table for more details.

Read Hint

1. Click the File tab, click Export, then in the Export , choose HTML5 Interactive Map.

2. Choose the location for the exported file, and enter its name.  
   Read Note

   HTML5 maps cannot be edited.

Export the map as an image file

MindManager can export maps to various graphics formats:

BMP       GIF       JPEG       PNG       WMF       EMF

This command exports the entire map. If you only want an image of a part of the map you can copy topics then paste them as a bitmap in the target application.

1. Click the File tab, click Export, then under Export, select Image.

2. In the Save As Type list, click the image format you want to export.

2. Choose a folder, enter the File name, then click Save.

4. An option dialog is shown where you can define the color resolution, transparency, and size for bitmap files.

Copy map or topics as a bitmap

In many applications you can paste your map, or selected topics, as a bitmap image:

1. In MindManager, select the central topic (copies the whole map) or the topics you want to copy, and then press CTRL+C.

2. Switch to the target application, then use the Paste Special command to paste the map or topics as a bitmap.

Export to Spreadsheet (CSV)

You can export your entire map or only a portion of it to a CSV (comma-separated-value) file that can be imported by Excel and many other popular spreadsheet programs.

Export an entire map to a CSV file

1. Open the map.

Export to OPML document

You can export your entire map or only a portion of it to an OPML document.  Because OPML is a very simplified format, the resulting OPML map will be grey-scale with  icons and other visual markers removed.

Pack and Go

The Pack and Go command is used to add maps, and optionally, linked documents to a ZIP file. A Wizard guides you through the steps to package the maps. You can use this command to package a single map and its linked documents in Map View or for multiple maps in Linked Maps View. This makes it easy to move the map to a different location (for example, to a central location on your intranet, or to a different system if you are doing a presentation on a different computer).

These same steps are used to create an archive when using the Send feature to email a map or maps.

Package maps and documents

1. Click the File tab, click Export, then select Pack and Go.
   Read Hint

   In the Linked Maps View, click the Pack and Go command.

2. The Pack and Go wizard starts.

• On the first screen you can choose which files to add to the ZIP archive.  Options

• If you do not include the linked documents, the links remain in the map, but do not function. Only the first level of linked maps is included - this means that if the main map links to a child map, the child map is included, but any maps that the child map links to are not.

• On the second screen you enter the path and filename for the ZIP file. You can also add a comment to display when the files are unpacked form the archive. Click finish to start the packaging process. Options

3. When the packaging is complete, a message appears, and you can open the archive, open the target folder or close the wizard.
