Brainstorm Solo Mode

Brainstorm Solo mode allows the administrators of the Mind Map to temporarily hide all the existing branches from other people on the Mind Map so that they can add new ideas without being influenced by others. 

 

This feature allows for everyone in the team to contribute their ideas without being distracted by other people's suggestions.

The Brainstorm is managed by the owner of the map or anyone with admin permissions.
