So far, this is very similar to previous versions. Next, you need to give the central topic a name. But when you select the central topic, iMindMap’s branch target circle appears over the top of it. This makes it hard to read the wording of it. In previous versions of iMindMap, this branch target has made it easy to quickly add different types of content to your mind maps.

But I’m not sure that extending it to the central topic was a good decision. You can add branches to your central topic in several ways.

As always, you can position your mouse in the center of the target and drag the cursor outward, which “grows” a branch that follows the path of the cursor. You can also single click on the red circle in the center of the target. This makes it possible to add topics quickly, with a single click.Įditing the properties of a branch has been made easier in iMindMap 7. Toggle the branch text between right, left and center alignment.Toggle it between a regular and a box branch.The branch target now contains a gray segment that, when you click it, causes a dialog box like the one at right to pop up over the currently-selected topic.
