Send maps

What do you want to do?

The best method to use for distributing your maps to others depends on whether the recipients are MindManager users.

Everyone:

You can send the map as a self-contained HTML5 map for viewing. HTML5 maps are interactive: recipients can expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, and more. HTML5 maps can be viewed in a standard browser—no special software is required.

MindManager users only:

You can send a packaged map (and, optionally, its linked documents) in a .zip archive for viewing and editing. The recipients can unpack the map and related documents, and then view and edit them using MindManager. Read Notes

Send an HTML5 map

You can send your map as a self-contained document in HTML5 format for viewing. HTML5 maps include an interactive map: recipients can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map.

  1. Open the map.

  2. Click the File tab, click Share, Email, then in the Email list, and select Send as Attachment (HTML5 Interactive Map).

An email message will automatically appear, with a .html file version of you map attached, and the standard instruction "I've shared a MindManager map with you. You can view it using your browser" in the body of the message. Simply add recipients, edit your message as needed, and send it.

Send the current map to other MindManager users

Note: Users will only have access to MindManager's SharePoint features if using MindManager Enterprise. If you share a map that includes SharePoint elements with a user who is not using MindManager Enterprise, SharePoint icons may be modified.

You can send the current map, Map Template, or Map Theme to other recipients who are MindManager users. If you are conducting a review you can use the "for Review" option when you mail the map.

When you send a map, the current map, template or theme (and optionally, its linked documents) are used to create a ZIP archive.

In the Linked Maps View the Send as Email command combines multiple linked map files into one ZIP file.

Send a map, template or theme

  1. Open the map, template or theme.

  2. Do one of the following:

    Click the File tab, click Share, Email, then in the Email list, select Send as Attachment.

    or

    Click the File tab, click Share, Email, then in the Email list, select Send as Attachment For Review.  

The two "Send" commands are similar. The "For Review" command adds a Review follow-up flag to the Outlook email and changes the subject line to "Review ..." . Also, the map automatically opens in Review mode on the recipient's system.

Create the ZIP archive

You will be prompted for options to use for the ZIP archive. These are the same steps used by the Pack and Go feature to create an archive.

Read Note

The map(s) and documents are compressed into a ZIP archive, and an email message is created with the archive included as an attachment.
