Normally, when you move a main topic MindManager automatically determines the best new location for it. The result is that the topic may not be located just where you want it - especially on maps with only a few main topics.
To move a main topic to a specific position do one of the following:
Drag the topic by
its handle. 
Press ALT while you drag the topic to its new position.
Drag the topic using the right mouse button
Once you drop the topic at its new position its handle becomes black to show that it has been freely positioned. The topic will maintain this approximate position as you add to or edit your map but may shift slightly to avoid overlapping with other topics.
For a single topic, right-click, and then click Reset Position.
For all topics, right-click the map background, and then click Reset All Topic Positions.
You can ensure that new main topics are distributed evenly on the map as you add them by enabling the Balance new main topics option.
To distribute topics evenly on the map at any time, do one of the following:
On the View tab, in the Detail group, click Balance Map.
Right-click on the map background, and then click Balance Map.
To allow map subtopics to overlap a floating topic, right-click the floating topic and clear the Snapped option. When checked, this option causes floating topics to move out of the way of new subtopics. Note that this option is re-enabled automatically if you move the floating topic.
Select the topic(s) and drag them to a new position in the outline. A visual cue appears showing where the topic(s) will be added.
Drag topics up and down to reorder them.
Point to the left half of the target topic to create a sibling (topic at the same level).
Point to the right half of the target topic to create a subtopic of the target.
Besides using the direct drag and drop method, you can also move and copy topics using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands in Map View and Outline View. You can use this method to copy topics to another map, or to paste a topic as a callout.
