That struck me as odd at first, so I did a bit of sleuthing to find out why.Īfter doing some exploration in the program’s help menu, I figured out that MindView captures this data in a separate location, as a set of citations. It formats this as text with a gray background in square brackets, but doesn’t provide a link to it within the notes. One nice feature is that it automatically captures information about the source. I tried this with text in a web browser as well as Evernote, a popular note-taking application. Images can be inserted as branch images or attachments. If you’ve selected text, it’s inserted as a note in the selected topic in your mind map. Next, you tell it what type of content you’re going to capture (text or image), highlight the text in its source location and click the capture button in the capture window. When you select the capture tool in MindView, a small window pops up in the corner of your screen. Because a big part of any knowledge worker’s need is to gather and manipulate information, I see this as an important capability. The new version of MindView now gives you the option to clear all note text formatting during the export process.Ĭapture tool: MindView has a new capture tool that enables you to grab text or images from any source. But users had to adjust topic note text manually in Word – a time-consuming process if you were working with a large document. Improved Word export: In past versions of MindView, the program enabled you to select a template that would govern how headings were formatted during the export process. As in past versions of MindView, you can do a quick export or customize it, selecting the elements you want to include and exclude in the export process. New PowerPoint templates: MindView offers a new set of contemporary templates for exporting your mind maps into presentation decks – 30 in all. This helps to reduce the learning curve for new users of MindView. Microsoft Office look and feel: MindView has utilized Office-style ribbon toolbars for a number of years now, but its new version includes a refresh to give it a look and feel that’s consistent with Office 2019. So let’s dig in! What’s new and notable in MindView 8 for Windows In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the MindView Suite toolset and its new licensing model, and I’ll share what I think is most noteworthy and significant. MindView Suite combines an updated desktop mapping program for Windows and Mac, a web-based version and an collaborative workspace called MindView Drive that enables multiple people to work on a single mind map simultaneously. It represents the biggest change to this well-respected visual thinking platform in many years. To help remote workers create and manage their mind maps more effectively, Matchware recently introduced a new version of its mind mapping tool, dubbed MindView Suite.
