Share as Image
Exporting as an image shows the mind map like you see it in SimpleMind. The pdf format can be opened by anyone and is usually the best choice.
Because an image shows the mind map as you see it, notes are not visible. If needed, add a Notes report
Outline text
Select .html or .txt to import the file in word processors. The .html outline includes links and notes.
Mind Map formats
Export in original .smmx format to share your mind maps with others that have SimpleMind Pro or use the free SimpleMind Viewer for Mac or Windows.
It is possible to share as basic Freemind (.mm) or opml files. Opml is supported by most outliner and mind mapping apps, Freemind is supported by most mind mapping apps. This exports only the most basic information like text, notes and hierarchy. Any additional information, such as images will be discarded.
Outline Notes report
This creates a .pdf with only topics with notes. Use this in combination with the image of the mind maps to share everything in the mind map with others. Select "Topics with Notes only" when sharing the outline.
Hierarchy outline
Click image above to open as .pdf
Use "Show Hierarchy" to create a .pdf that shows all topics and their hierarchy. You can choose to include or exclude notes, checkboxes, dates or numbering.
