Working with Templates

Create Mind Maps 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.

My templates section in the side menu.

 

There, you will have a list of all the Mind Map templates you have created.
