When adding a mind map card to a note, the new blank card will follow the relevant settings of the previous card intelligently.
- Level follow-up: the new card is at the same level as the previous empty card by default.
- Position follow-up: the new card is generated below the previous empty card by default.
- Color follow-up: the new card has the same color as the previous empty card by default.
Branch folding
By using the branch folding function, you can fold/unfold all sub-branches under a certain card to browse and edit the mind map more easily, and focus on a specific topic. The branch folding function can be achieved by clicking the small circle next to the card by hand, or by clicking the [Fold/unFold Link] button in the card menu.
Content folding
When you create a complex mind map that includes many levels and details, you can use the content folding function by clicking the folding icon on the right side of the card title by hand or by clicking the [Fold/Unfold Card] button of the pop-up menu to hide or display the content part of the card. This allows you to have a clearer view of the overall structure and key points of the mind map on a limited screen, without being distracted by details, making it easier to understand and remember your ideas.
