To see the quality of
the connection to the Mindjet Catalyst server, point to the
button. You will see your connection information, and whether there
are changes waiting to be sent to the server (this may happen if the
connection is slow).
If you shut down MindManager while you are still connected, you are automatically disconnected from the server, then re-connected when you start MindManager again.
If you have problems connecting to the server:
Verify that you have an active internet connection.
Sign out of Mindjet Catalyst and then sign back in.
Check your account status at the Mindjet web site.
If these steps do not solve the problem, contact Mindjet for assistance.
The Connected button animation 
shows
communication with the server: As you edit maps and check in files you
will see changes being sent to the server as you make them. If the server
stops responding you will receive a notification from Mindjet Catalyst.
This situation usually resolves after several minutes.
If you want to continue to edit a workspace map you already have open, you can save a copy of the map locally and continue working on it, saving copies at regular intervals to back up your changes. When the connection resolves, your changes are automatically sent to the server and no further action is necessary.
If the connection does not eventually resolve you may need to disconnect, then re-connect to the server. If you have continued to edit one or more workspace maps you can import the local copies of the maps you saved back to the workspace as new documents.
