Edit a map in a Co-Editing session

What do you want to do?

During a Co-Editing session, multiple users can work on the same file at the same time. Teams can work remotely in real time, seeing changes to the map as they are made. Each participant has a unique mouse cursor.

For information about starting a Co-Editing session and resuming editing in MindManager on your desktop, see Co-Editing.
