Once you've mapped out your ideas either individually or as a team, you can start to organize them into a plan of action. Within the mind maps, you can create tasks from your branches and start updating them without leaving the mind map.
This article is for the legacy Task Bar, a feature available only in older mind maps. Switch over to the new and improved Tasks in mind maps functionality by enabling it in Board Options. Please note, this change is irreversible.
Please note- Task boards and the task bar are not included in the Ayoa Mind Mapping plan, you will need an Ayoa Ultimate plan to create tasks from a mind map.
