XMind Share
XMind Share is a free online service for us to share mind maps with families, friends, colleagues, and even the world! Here are how to enjoy this service.
Upload map
- We need an XMind account, if do not have, please sign up one.
- Sign-in with our account in XMind while launching XMind or clicking Sign into XMind.net under help menu.
- Open or Draw a map
- Click Upload button on the far right of toolbar
- Now, in the upload dialog, we should add the map description, change map's privacy, and mofify the thumbnail.
- Click Upload button on the dialog bottom and upload map.
Ok, let's check about the upload dialog
- General, here we can add the description for this map.
- Privacy, here is the place to set the privacy of map, Pubic, Unlisted, or Private; and if it's downloadable.
- Modify the Thumbnail
Delete/Embed/Comment a map
When the upload process finishes, clicking My XMind Account option under the help menu, we can see the uploaded maps in XMind inside browser easily. Then we can
- Delete my online map via clicking the delete icon under map's thumbnail
- Emebed any a online map to my blog via pasting the Embed Code on that map page
- Add comment to any a map.
Map viewer
In this viewer, we can navigate the map. It also has another mode, Outline. Click the Outline on the bottom, we'll be able to read this map in a traditional way.
Share the map
In the privacy page, we know any map can have three kind privacies, Public, Unlisted, and Private. The way to share maps with different privacies has a few differences
- Public Maps has no limitations, which can be seen by any person and searched by search engines.
- Unlisted Map can not be searched by search engine. They are not shown on XMind Share too. People, only who know map's URL, can read it.
- Private Map is available only for XMind Pro users. If you want to share a private map with some people, you should click the special Share to button and send the invitation to them. People, who get the invitation email, should at least have a free XMind Account for reading this private map.
Now we find that unlisted map is very useful to share a map in some special situation, such as at meeting, at class, and etc. And Private Map will be able to play an important role in collaborating within a small team, or share some special and important information.
