And all maps can be exported to kinds of formats, including Word, PPT,PDF/RTF and image etc. Distribution will be simple!Here are some key features of "XMind Pro":Mashup Structures· Mind MapThe Mind Map structure contains a root in the center, with main branches radiating from it. This structure works especially well in brainstorming sessions, where users can collect ideas related to a central topic, but do not need analyze, organize, or prioritize them.· Fishbone DiagramThis tool, also known as a Cause & Effect diagram , Ishikawa diagram, or, fishbone pattern, is highly effective for solving quality problems by logically organizing them by branches. The direction of these branches resembles the shape of a fish bone.Fishbone charts help users visually organize the causal relationships in complex ideas or events. They also increase awareness of cause and effect, and more simply organize learned materials or theories.Business users also find fishbone charts valuable in project management or activity progress control scenarios, where time sequencing is a concern. A series of activities that impact the project's progress, as well as their time order connections, can be clearly illustrated. Additionally, every single branch can be detached into detailed recursive activities. As a result, users can quickly understand key activities and time arrangements, and take proper measures to accelerate project completion.· SpreadsheetSpreadsheet also enable successful 'cause and effect' analysis, providing a systematic approach to drawing meaningful conclusions by tracking different measures and their possible outcomes.A set of complex factors and behaviors that impact final measures are exhibited in perpendicular rows and columns. This enables the in-depth analysis of strengths and weaknesses, and provides a clear, easy-to-interpret view of different lines of thinking.Spreadsheet are typically presented on paper, in a spreadsheet program, or using commercial software that is not particularly user-friendly. XMind allows users to easily insert factors and behaviors into Spreadsheet, and include multiple topics - complete with individual appearances and structures - within each cell.Brainstorm and Fun· MarkersMarkers represent some attributes as image icons, and are widely used in project management, planning, and others. XMind provides a wide array of markers, or allows users to add their own images as markers.Once added to a map, a marker can be renamed to express specific meaning.· Inline NotesRich text notes are used to record complementary topics details. Users can add information about the topic, insert images for illustration, as well as change the appearance of the text (i.e. font size, color, etc.). Notes can even be viewed and edited in Presentation mode.· Hyperlink/AttachmentsExternal file can be added to XMind maps as floating topics, or attached to a topic as subtopics. These attachments can be renamed, moved, or deleted at any time. Users can change these attachment's attributes such as color, shape, or line patterns, or add additional subtopics or attachments to them.Attachments can be rapidly dragged and dropped from a user's local folder to a map. Images can be dropped on an existing topic, and will automatically become the topic's image, or can be used to create a new topic.All Attachments traval with XMind files during distribution and sharing. Viewers can open an attachment directly, or save it to their drive as a local file.Without Attachment, users can use Hyperlinks to link files from websites, local folders, or files such as Excel or PDF documents. Each topic can be given a URL and presented as a hyperlink(multiple URLs cannot be associated with a topic). Hyperlinks can be opened by simply ALT-clicking the topic, or can be modified or canceled at any time.When a user drags and drops a hyperlink from a web browser to a topic, the hyperlink's URL will be inserted into that topic, or replace an existing URL that is already associated with the topic. As with attachment, hyperlinks can also be dragge and dropped into a map as subtopics of an existing topic, or floating topics. Hypelink attributes such as decreption, postion, and color can also be altered.Easy to Use· Topic As A Map (Drill Down)Drilldown enables users to focus in on a specific branch. When selected, the focused branch will be displayed as the central branch on the map. Users can modify the details of this branch, then return to the former level with just a simple click.If users want to hide detailed information from being displayed in higher levels, they can put them into floating topics. This will supress information when drilling up to full map view, but make it viewable when drilling down to the specific branch. The drilled-down map can be exported, printed, and saved as a new workbook.· Spell CheckerA spell checker is automatically invoked as users type text into XMind. Misspelled words are marked with a red underline. Right-click on the word will correct it, or a suggested revision can be chosen from the popup menu. Users can also add new word to the dictionary.Additional spell checker options can be found in the Preference dialog box.· Legend and FilteringThe Powerful Filter offers tremendous productivity improvements for large, complex map.Filtering allows users to make only specific portions of map content visible, based on certain topic attributes such as markers and labels, to facilitate faster information review and understanding.What makes the filtering functionality of XMind unique is its ability to shadow out topics, but not hide them completely, making the un-filtered topics much brighter and more noticeable. This allows users to highlight key points, without losing the entire map view.You can also add a Legend to map, which is a floatable box describe all map markers and their specific meanning, similar to the legends found on ordinary geographical maps. Legends are very useful in presentation, planning, filtering, etc. Users can drag and drop a legend anywhere within the map, or hide the legend from viewing.Share with the world· Import from Freemind/MindManagerMany professinals use FreeMind or MindManager as their thinking tool. XMind protects prior investments and makes it easy for users to continue working on maps created in FreeMind or MindManager. Users can import files from these two applications into XMind without losing any important data.· Export to Html/PNG/GIF/JPEG/BMPXMind is a fully-compatible solution with a wide range of third-party applications.

XMind Share will be a content sharing community website for mind maps in the spirit of YouTube for videos, Flickr for photos.Designed for Business· PresentationUnlike traditional linear slide-shows, which limit the imagination and creativity, and makes meetings less participatory, XMind offers users a brand new presentation style that combines single point focus and a holistic conceptual grasp, with fully customizable and interactive.At the start of a presentation, only the central topic is visible to the audience, effectively presenting the main concept of the speech, without distractions. Yet-to-be-mentioned topics are hidden, and can be exposed one by one as the speech continues. Presenters can use Space-bar, Enter, Tab, or Arrow keys to navigate through topics. Every time a new topic is selected, it will be highlighted and positioned in the center of screen so the audience can concentrate on it.When users move their mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen, a control panel with additional functions is shown. Through this panel. users can:· Navigate to the next topic or into a deeper level;· Show a side-bar along the left of screen with Outline, Filter, Audio Notes;· Unlock to show the whole map.· Zoom on or out of the map; or· Exit Presentation mode.· Audio NotesXMind's powerful audio notes feature helps to capture spoken information during meetings and enables users to annotate topics without typing.Users can record voice information by selecting a topic and clicking the record button in Audio Notes view. Clicking the button a second time will cease recording, and automatically save the audio file as an attachment. Audio notes can be played directly, or saved as an external .mp3 file for independent distribution.· Gantt ViewGantt View is a type of bar view that illustrates a project schedule. It illustrates the start and end dates, priority, status, and etc. Gantt view can help you easily track projects and tasks.In XMind, Gantt view is synchronous with TaskInfo. If you adjust task's start and end dates, the result will be shown in TaskInfo View too.Integration with Enterprise Environment· Export to PDF/Word/PowerpointXMind is a fully-compatible solution with a wide range of third-party applications. Users can export maps into variety of formats, such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or RTF.When exporting a map to a graphical text document format such as Word, PowerPoint, or PDF, XMind uses the central topic as the title, each main topics as a chapter heading, each subtopic as a section heading, and each floating topic as an appendix. Rich text notes are used as the text of each chapter or section.XMind will automatically place an overview picture representing the source map below the title, making it easier for users to instantly capture the structure of the entire documents. Users can also choose to separate the overview picture into small pieces for each chapter and/or section, or exclude overview pictures in the exported document.· Export to MindManagerFor users' convenience, XMind also has integrated with Mindjet MindManager greatly. Users can directly export xmind files to MindManager Maps.· Search Topics/Images form WebXMind provides access to several search engines, allowing users to find and retrieve information related to their topics from the World Wide Web, and incorporate it into their maps. Users can easily to drag and drop URLs, and/or texts into map from searching result.Images can be added to a map from Web search too. Search results will be displayed in a particular view, where users can drag and drop images onto a map, adding the images to an existing topic, or using the images to create a new topic.Improved Collaboration· Privately ShareWith XMind Share, XMind Pro users can restrict access to their online mind maps and share only with designated contacts. Private sharing makes a lot of sense for project teams who want to share and collaborate on a brainstorming session or task information captured in a mind map.· MapShotTake a snapshot of a specific region of a map to the clipboard by a drag-drop and a double click, and paste it in other applications.
