Frequently asked questions
How many main branches should a study mind map have?
Four to seven main branches work well for a single lecture or chapter. If you need more, split the material into two maps so each one stays easy to recall.
How do I choose what goes on each branch?
Start with the headings your teacher or textbook uses for the unit, then place each key term under the heading it explains. Keep every branch to one idea so you can recall it from memory.
Can I edit the mind map after it is generated?
Yes. The map is editable, so you can change branch labels and remove anything that does not belong.
Does the free plan include exporting my mind map?
No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with three generations per month. Exports such as PDF and DOCX are part of Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
