Working with Templates

Create Mind Maps, Task Boards and Whiteboard templates to build a library of your bespoke templates.

 

Once you have created your templates, you can use them when creating a new mind map, task board or whiteboard. Share templates with your team to help them efficiently and quickly build boards.

To access Templates that you have already created, navigate to the Home page, then in the bottom left corner choose My Templates.

There, you will have a list of all the Mind Map, Whiteboard and Task Board templates you have created. 

 

You can view all your templates types or choose to view only the Mind Maps, Whiteboards or Task Boards.

 

In addition, you can organise Templates alphabetically, by recently opened, created or updated.

 

Moreover, you have the option to view them ascending or descending.
