Co-Editing

What do you want to do?

Co-Editing is a secure cloud-based service that eliminates version conflicts and allows multiple users to work on the same file at the same time. Read Note

Co-Editing takes place in your browser, giving you the flexibility to collaborate with people who don't have MindManager installed. Co-Editing requires files to be stored in OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, Box, or Dropbox.

See Co-Editing supported editing functionality for a list of what map elements can modified during a session.

Your browser launches to start the Co-Editing session.

If you are working in SharePoint and start a Co-Editing session with a file that is checked out, a dialog will appear. Click Yes to check the map back into SharePoint so that co-editors with Edit permission can also save changes to the map. Otherwise, only the user who checked out the file can save changes during a Co-Editing session.

The first time that you start a Co-Editing session using a cloud storage service, you must sign in to authorize MindManager to access the file. You will not need to do this for subsequent maps saved to this cloud storage service.
On the Invite Others To Co-Edit This File page, enable the Anyone with link can co-edit check box.

You can choose the other options to have Co-Editing sessions where some people can edit the file, while others can only view it. You can also let the file-privilege settings in the cloud storage service determine what invitees can do.

Anyone taking part in a Co-Editing session must be signed into their MindManager Cloud account. If they don't have one, they can create one.
Click Copy Link, and share the link with your co-editors.
Click Done.
The map opens in an online Co-Editing window, and editing in MindManager is paused. For more information, see Edit a map in a Co-Editing session.

Resume working on a map from Co-Editing session

After a Co-Editing session, you can keep on working on the map in MindManager.

If the map used in the Co-Editing session is still open in the MindManager desktop application, a red overlay is displayed in the top-left corner of the map window to indicate there is a newer version.
Click the overlay, and click Load Latest Version.
