Manage workspace documents

Applies to MindManager used with Mindjet Catalyst.

Documents in the Documents list display properties and icons to show whether they have been tagged, hidden, checked out, or locked. New documents (those that you have not yet viewed) are shown in bolded type. When you select a document, its properties are shown below the Documents list on the Properties tab.

Using these attributes you can sort or filter the Documents list for easier viewing, and use the View settings denali_doc_list_view.bmp to include Hidden items in the view, or view only Deleted items.

If you want a document to be accessible from another workspace, you can move or copy it, or you can create a link to the original.

Removing a document from a workspace is a two-step process: you mark the document as deleted and then you destroy it. Deleted documents remain in the workspace until they are destroyed.

Tag or hide workspace documents

You can tag documents in the workspace Documents list as Important denali_important_icon.bmp or Favorite denali_favorite_icon.bmp. Important tags are seen by all members, but Favorite tags are only seen by you. The Documents list can be sorted or filtered using these tags.

You can hide maps or files in your own view so they do not appear in your workspace Documents list. This can make it easier to focus on only essential documents. Documents you hide are hidden only for you, not for other workspace members.

Tag a document as Important denali_important_icon.bmp or Favorite denali_favorite_icon.bmp

  1. Click the document's workspace in the Workspaces list.

  2. In the Documents list for the workspace select the document you want to tag.

  3. On the Workspaces tab, in the Document Options group, click Important or Favorite.

  4. Right-click the document name, and then click Important or Favorite.

You can tag a document as both Important and Favorite.

Hide a document

You can include Hidden documents in your view by enabling the View setting to show them. These documents are not hidden for other workspace members.

  1. Click the document's workspace in the Workspaces list.

  2. In the Documents list select the document you want to hide.

  3. On the Workspaces tab, in the Document Options group, click Hide.

  4. Right-click the document name, and then click Hide.

The document disappears from your Documents List. To show it again, repeat these steps but click Show.

Sort or filter the Documents list

Sort the Documents list

Filter the Documents list

You can filter the Documents list to show only certain documents.

denali_new_icon.bmp New to show only new documents added to the workspace that you have not yet viewed.

denali_favorite_icon.bmp Favorites to show only documents tagged as Favorites.

denali_important_icon.bmpImportant to show only documents tagged as Important.

denalidocumentsheaderlocked.bmp Locked / Checked Out to show locked or checked out documents.

Include Hidden to include documents you've hidden in the list. They appear in the Documents list with the Hidden denali_hidden_icon.bmp icon.

denali_deleted.bmp Deleted to show only documents that have been deleted from the workspace but not yet destroyed.

The Documents list title indicates the total number of documents, and how many are displayed (controlled by the View setting).

When the documents list is filtered, its title changes color and the View All documents button denali_view_all_list.bmp appears.

To return to unfiltered view, click View All denali_view_all_list.bmp .

Copy, move or link to workspace documents

Duplicate a document

You can create a copy of a workspace document in the same workspace by duplicating it.

The duplicate will appear in the Documents list with the name "Copy of...". To rename the document, right-click it, click Rename, and then enter the new name.

Move, copy, or create a link to a document to another workspace

You can add documents to workspaces from other workspaces by copying them, moving them, or creating a link that points to them.

If you copy a document it becomes a separate map or file in the new workspace and is no longer linked to the original. In contrast, a linked document is a single map or file that resides only in its originating workspace. The target workspace (the workspaces it is linked from) contains a link back to the original map or file.

  1. Select the document you want to move, copy, or link to in the Documents list.

  2. Drag the document from the Documents List to the target workspace in the Workspaces List.

  3. Select the action (Copy, Move, Create Link in) when the pop-up appears.

  4. You can also right-click the document name and then click Create Link in Workspace, Move to Workspace, or Copy to workspace.

Using document links

A document that is linked to from another workspace displays an icon denalidocumentsshared.bmp in the Documents list. Workspace Owners can see which workspaces the document is linked to from: Select it, then click the Link arrow on the Workspaces tab, Documents group.

In the target workspace Documents list a link denalidocumentssharedlink.bmppoints to the document in the originating workspace. Point to this icon to see which workspace contains the original document.

You can view a linked document from its originating or target workspace.

You can edit a linked map from either its originating workspace or from its target workspace, but you can only edit a linked file in its originating workspace. In order to edit a document you must be an Owner or Author in that workspace.

To stop linking a document delete its link from the target workspace.

If you delete a link denalidocumentssharedlink.bmpit is immediately removed from the workspace (it does not appear in the Deleted view of the Documents list). This does not affect the original document.

Remove documents from workspaces

You remove documents from workspaces in a two-step process. First you mark the document for deletion, then you destroy it. Documents marked for deletion can be undeleted.

If a document is linked to from another workspace, you can delete its link, but you can only delete, undelete and destroy the document itself from its originating workspace.

Delete / destroy a document

The Delete function marks the document for deletion (but does not destroy it) and you and other workspace members will no longer see it in the workspace Documents list. Members can, however, view the list of Deleted documents. To remove a deleted document from a workspace you destroy it.

Mark a document as deleted

The document disappears from the Documents list of this workspace for all workspace members.

View the list of deleted documents

When viewing the deleted documents you can choose to undelete (restore) or destroy (permanently delete) the document.

Undelete (restore) or destroy (permanently delete) a deleted document:

  1. View the list of deleted documents (above).

  2. Select the document.

  3. On the Workspaces tab, in the Document Options group, click Undelete Document to restore the document or click destroy Document to permanently remove it.

An undeleted document re-appears in the Documents list when the view settings are set back to All Documents. A destroyed document is permanently removed from the workspace for all members.

Delete links to documents

The Documents list may contain links to documents from other workspaces. These items appear as document names with the link denalidocumentssharedlink.bmp icon. This icon shows whether the link back to the original document is active denalidocumentssharedlink.bmp or broken denalidocumentssharedbrokenlink.bmp. (The link will be broken if the document is deleted from its originating workspace.)

You can remove links to documents from your workspace Documents list by deleting the link. Deleting the link has no effect on the original document. You can delete either active or broken links.

  1. Right-click the link in the Documents list.

  2. Click Delete Link.

The linked document name will be removed from the Documents list.

Links to documents are removed automatically if the original document is destroyed.
