Whats new in MindManager Version 9

Think of MindManager as a dramatic production - the map corresponds to what the audience sees, and the Backstage view corresponds to what happens "behind the scenes", or backstage.

Use the MindManager Backstage view to do the activities that are not related to the map content, like opening, saving, and exporting files, changing properties, getting Help, and more.

The File tab replaces the MindManager Button

and the File menu used in earlier versions of MindManager. The Help menu on the File tab replaces the Learning Center.

Better Ribbon

MindManager 9 includes a simplified, better-organized Ribbon with fewer tabs, so it's even easier to find the commands you need.

Renamed Features

Multimap View = Linked Maps view

Presentation Mode = Walk Through

Detail command = Expand command

Renamed map elements

Map Markers = Markers

Text Markers = Tags

Icon Markers = Icons

Gantt Charts

View the tasks on your map as an interactive Gantt chart in a split-window view along with your map. Edit task info on your map or in the chart.
Here's how...

Manage Resources

Define a set of resources for your tasks and identify under- and overutilized resources.
Here's how...

Outlook Queries

Query Outlook for items that match the criteria you specify, then drag the results items onto your map. Edit the items in either Outlook or MindManager - the information stays in sync automatically. Use resources from Outlook tasks to prime the resource pool for the map.
Here's how...

Slides View

Create and manage a set of slides that focus on different sections or views of your map. Each slide contains a branch, and displays it in the state you choose (expanded or collapsed). Use the Slide Show to present your slides, print them, or export them to Microsoft PowerPoint.
