Things to consider before purchasing XMind could be that you should be absolutely clear about how much collaborative features you know, because XMind isn't very strong on these, and you have to keep in mind that since the cloud version isn't available anymore, as far as I know, the performance is pretty poor at times. However, as it doesn't feature any third party integrations that we worked with, implementation was relatively easy and done in about two weeks. It didn't take long to get the basics with XMind set up.
XMIND TUTORIALS PRO
We chose XMind because it was relatively easy to use, the features were great, and the free edition gave a very good taste of what was to come with the Pro plan.
XMIND TUTORIALS UPGRADE
We started out using the free plan, but we decided to upgrade to Pro pretty quickly because XMind was just the best tool for the job.

I'm working as a business development manager and I would give XMind four out of five stars.

There are some good default themes available, but it’s always worth having a little tinker as everyone’s visual needs are different. Every time I want to create a new mind map, I open this file and then resave the file as whatever topic I am studying that day. I personally don’t spend much time on formatting the aesthetics of my mind maps, I have created my own basic template formatted in the way that I can read best and then saved that to my PC and Unidrive. This saves so much time planning layouts, as you can just type what is necessary and rearrange later, without thinking about how it’s going to look. You can also rearrange subtopics and so on by dragging them around until they are in the right place. you use the bar to the right of the page. This includes ‘floating topics’, which you create by double clicking an empty space. You can then drag the arrow to connect it to wherever you want it to go. Mind map with extended branchesĪs you can see I have quite a few inter-topic relationships, which I create by right clicking a subtopic (or sub- subtopic) and pressing ‘new relationship’. You can press the minus sign next to each heading to hide the sub-subtopics, and press the plus sign to reveal them again. Below is how my mind map looks when all branches are expanded.
XMIND TUTORIALS FULL
When your subtopics are looking quite full and cluttered. So on and so forth ad infinitum (I assume). Then, from each of these branches again when that subtopic is selected, press enter again to create smaller sub-subtopics. After you type in your title/ central topic you press enter to start a new branch. This was one I used for my first year exam revision.
XMIND TUTORIALS FOR FREE
I accessed XMind for free through the DDSS memory stick of assistive software.īelow is the basic bones of how most of my mindmaps begin.
Along with this, the fact that your writing never quite looks like those bullet journals and Tumblr #studyspo blogs, and that your hand ends up sore and covered in ink and your page is all smudged you might find yourself pretty frustrated and giving up before you really get into the flow of studying.Ī free app that I use that avoids all of the above problems, along with added features I didn’t even know I needed, is XMind. Inevitably you run out of space and have to squish a really vital topic in a not so large space, and an insignificant topic (and accompanying useless diagram) occupying most of the page. If you’re also an accomplished procrastinator (like me) then you also know how easy it is to get swept away on a tide of fancy stationery, colour coordinating and obsession over how exactly to lay out your information. If you’re a visual learner like me, you might find mind maps the most helpful way for you to absorb information.
