Navigation screen

 

You can easily navigate your maps and organize them into folders.

Use the map menu (top right of the map preview) to edit, duplicate, share, etc. a map.

To move a map into a folder you can simply drag it into that folder.

To edit multiple maps at once, select them using the round checkbox on the top left of each map preview (or in front of the map name in List View). You can also use SHIFT+click and CTRL+click to select a range of maps or include/exclude individual maps from the selection. To select all maps inside the folder use CTRL+A.

You can move or copy multiple maps using keyboard shortcuts. Simply select the map(s) and use CTRL+X to move or CTRL+C to copy the map(s), then navigate to the folder you want them placed into and press CTRL+V to paste them there. If you pasted copied maps into the same folder, they will be duplicated.

To delete selected maps you can use the DELETE button.

 

 

Map screen

 

SpiderScribe interface is very easy to use - simply start clicking and dragging the things around and you will be creating mind maps in no time!

 

Sharing maps online

 

You can share and collaborate with other people on your mind maps.

 

There are three types of maps:

• Private (default)- the map is visible only to its creator and to the people it is shared with.
• Public with the link - the map can be visible to anybody who has the direct link to it. People don't have to be logged into SpiderScribe.net to see it.
• Public on internet - the map can be found on internet and is visible to anybody. People don't have to be logged into SpiderScribe.net to see it.

When sharing maps with other users, the Editors can also edit the maps, and the Readers can only view them. In order to edit a map a person has to be logged into SpiderScribe.net.

People that have no SpiderScribe.net account yet are grayed out in the list. If you shared a map with them, it means they may not have accepted your invitation yet.

If the invitation email bounces back from the indicated email (can not be delivered), it will be marked in red and you will also get an email alert about it - make sure you double check the email in that case - it usually means it was mistyped.

You can easily share the link to a public map and use it in emails, Twitter, etc.

You can also embed public maps into your website and blog :

You can set the embedded map size, the zoom level and even the default position of the visible area. When you are happy with the settings (the preview on the left does not represent the actual size) simply click "Copy to clipboard" to get the code snipped to embed the map into your website or blog.
