- Export to Word and PowerPoint improvements: Export into Word and PowerPoint are now much faster and also available on MacOS, Linux and WebApp.
- Separation of local and online templates and examples. Going forward we will update the online examples and templates so you always have access to the latest examples and templates.
- Mini view: When panning or zooming a mini view of the map is visible and you can use that to navigate quickly across the map. This mini view can be customised.
- Ribbon functionality: More functions are now available in the ribbon.
- Layered maps: IdeaMapperHigherEd and IdeaMapperPro now have layered maps, enabling you to create maps with the same ideas but connected in a different way.
- Locking of ideas: You can now lock ideas and prevent them from being modified.
- Spell checking of ideas: A little icon drawn on the bottom right corner of an idea will indicate when an idea title is mispelled.
- Add sub-idea in text editor: When editing an idea you can now click the "add sub idea" button to create a new idea which is immediately attached to the currently edited idea.
What’s different?
- Layouts: The layout buttons in the ribbon will only apply to the main central idea on the map and not to subtrees. If you want to change the layout of a subtree, use the context menu for the subtree.
- Mind mapping: The central idea was previously fixed to the center of the window, but can now be moved.
- When entering 3D mode the thumbwheels are now attached to the mini view.
- Renaming of features, "Brainstorm" is now called "Free Brainstorm" and "Create Linked Ideas" is called "Focused Brainstorm".
