Public Share Mind Maps

If you have clients or stakeholders you want to collaborate with, but they don't have an Ayoa account you can use the public mind map share feature.

 

People who don't have an Ayoa account will just need to enter a username, then they will be able to interact with the map with the option to add comments, vote and add branches. 

This feature is currently only available on the web app.
