Frequently Asked Questions

How many nodes can I add to my mind map?

While there's no strict limit on the number of nodes you can add, we recommend keeping your mind maps focused with 15-25 nodes for optimal clarity and usability. For complex subjects, consider creating multiple interconnected mind maps.

Can I save my mind map and continue working on it later?

Currently, the tool doesn't support saving work in progress. We recommend exporting your mind map as an image when you need to take a break, and recreating it when you return. We're working on adding save functionality in a future update.

What's the best way to structure a mind map for studying?

Start with your main topic in the center, then add primary concepts as first-level branches. Break these down into subtopics, examples, and details as you move outward. Use colors to group related ideas and keep your structure balanced around the central topic.

Can I collaborate with others on a mind map?

The current version doesn't support real-time collaboration. However, you can export your mind map and share it with others for feedback, or use it during group study sessions as a visual aid for discussion.

How do mind maps improve learning and retention?

Mind maps leverage visual learning by creating associations between ideas. This mirrors how our brains naturally connect information, making it easier to recall complex topics. The process of creating a mind map also reinforces active learning, which significantly improves retention compared to passive reading.
