The HTML5 export that will ship with MM 2017 supports hyperlinks only (to web pages). The comment from a Mindjet representative states: Update: Mindjet have just confirmed in the MindManager community forum that the HTML 5 export facility will indeed contain hyperlinks. Indeed if links are preserved in the HTML 5 export this could be a killer feature for MM. If these are included the potential of exported maps would be greatly increased for example, HTML 5 maps could be used as the front end of a web site to provide a more attractive interface. The map also opens easily on an iPad, though the viewing commands and sub-branch opening appear to require a double-click.įor many users the usefulness of this feature will be determined by whether a vital facility not mentioned in the sneak peek is actually available in the export – hyperlinks on topics. Most though not all of the foreshadowed features are demonstrated and appear to work well. The map opens quickly in a Windows browser and it is easy to centre and zoom the map and open and close sub-branches. The current Mindjet Viewer export facility will be retired with the release of MM 2017.Ī sample interactive export map available on the sneak peak page demonstrates the potential of the new export facility. Navigation and viewing commands will be available to “fit the map to the screen, zoom in or out, focus and center the map”. Users will be able to publish the map to any browser that supports HTML 5.

In addition, file attachments, topic numbering, properties, comments and custom topic shapes are all supported in the HTML export. According to Mindjet it will offer “offers close to 100% parity with MindManager maps” and in particular “greater visual parity” between the original map and the exported version: ie, they will look more alike, and support all map layouts. This is a feature which many users have sought for a long time. I won’t go over the material in these sneak peeks in detail but I thought I’d provide a quick summary and offer some observations.

These demonstrate a strong emphasis on extending Mindjet’s capabilities in relation to presentation, integration with other software and project management, but they also raise some tantalising questions about how far these new features actually will go.

Following on from the MindManager for Windows 2017 preview which I discussed in a recent post, Mindjet has just completed a series of five sneak peeks looking at some of the key features of the new version.
