Mind map
Mind maps are structured diagrams that help you visually organize thoughts, break down topics, or plan projects. In Vani, you can create intelligent mind maps in minutes, without having to draw and arrange shapes and connect them manually.
Where to find it
You can add a mind map from the Structure panel on your left toolbar. Choose from multiple layout styles to suit your use case.
How to insert a mind map
- Click Structure from the left toolbar.
- Choose a layout from the available styles in the Mind map section.
- Click to insert it into your canvas.
How to use the mind map
- Click any node to start typing. You can rename, delete, or move nodes easily.
- Click the + icon next to a node to add a child node. You can add multiple children from the same node.
- Press Delete to remove a node. All its child nodes will be deleted too.
- Drag and drop nodes to rearrange. Drop a node on another to make it a child of that node.
- Click the arrow icon that appears on a selected node to collapse or expand all its children. This helps keep your map tidy as it grows.
