Collaborate using Content Control

What do you want to do?

When you activate Content Control within a map that you’ve created, you can control what other users can modify in the map. If you share the map password with others, they have full editing capabilities. People who don’t have the password will only be able to update the map elements that you’ve specified.

When a map that has been set to Content Control is opened in MindManager 21 for Windows, an overlay appears in the top-left corner of the map window. If you know the map password, you can enable full editing. You can also view the Content Control settings that were specified by the map creator.

Note: MindManager Content Control is a premium collaboration feature that requires a MindManager Subscription. After Content Control has been activated, you can allow contribution from others on a map by map basis.

Note: Content Control is not supported in MindManager 2019 for Windows and earlier or any macOS version of MindManager. However, when you open a map set to Content Control in MindManager for Windows (version 2019 or earlier), you will be prompted to enter the map password. If you enter the map password, you can open with full editing capabilities. If you don't have the password, you can click Read Only to view the map. If you open a map set to Content Control in any macOS version of MindManager, you can view the diagram as a read-only file.
