WHATS NEW IN VERSION 15

New 64-Bit version of MindManager

Were excited to announce our new 64-bit version of MindManager, which seamlessly integrates with

the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office. Note: If youre using 3rd party add-ins with MindManager, check

with your vendor to see when they will deliver an update that works on MindManagers 64-bit version.

The new MindManager installer will install the 64-bit version on 64-bit operating systems when either the

Microsoft Office 64-bit version is installed or no version of Office is installed. The 32-bit version of

MindManager will be installed on all Windows 32-bit operating systems and Windows 64-bit operating

systems when the 32-bit version of Office is already installed.

Presentations

A new Auto Create Slides option in the Presentation and Slides menus will generate a set of slides for

the whole map.

An option to create slides automatically is also presented when you Export to PowerPoint without

previously creating any slides within the map.

A new Projector Map Theme is available for map presentations.

Project Planning & Management

The new Remove Slack Time feature eliminates slack from dependent tasks. Slack time, also referred

to as float time, is the amount of time a task can slip before it bumps into another dependent task. Slack

time is also created when a task due date is set to end earlier than planned. The command has two

options: Remove Slack Time from All Tasks or Remove Slack Time from Selected Tasks. The new

command can also be accessed within the Gantt view via the tasks context menu.

The new Move Project feature shifts an entire project with all of its tasks to a new start date. There is

an option to maintain milestones and their dependencies while other tasks independent of milestones

are moved to new start dates.

Task Ribbon updated to include a toggle command for the Gantt View and the full Mindjet Task and

Outlook Query options.

Improved Template & Map Themes Experience

The redesigned template selection process makes it easier and less overwhelming for you to find

templates.

Four blank map templates are now offered which let you create new maps with different layouts: Right

Map, Org-Chart, Radial Map and Tree Maps.

Local templates are now stored in folders, which you can click into and use the breadcrumbs or back

button to return to the main template screen. Online templates appear in their own section. There is a

new My Templates section that dynamically appears when you add your own map templates.

A new preview window displays a larger map preview with a single left-click or you can open the

template with a double left-click.


We have updated the local map templates with a new, consistent default theme.

As mentioned earlier, we added a new Projector map theme for map presentations.

New & Updated Map Parts

Approximately fifty new map parts have been added to help you quickly create maps to define and

manage projects, analyze your business or organization, facilitate meetings, and help you be more

productive.

Map Parts will be presented in the List View instead of the Thumbnail View. Clicking the background of

the list of map parts presents a context menu which lets you toggle between List View and Thumbnail

View.

New Images

Highlight content visually with 168 new hand drawn sketches added to the image gallery in 4 colors.

OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language)

You can now export map content to OPML format in three ways:

o Export the whole map using the export options.

o Export the whole map by using the Save as feature and selecting OPML.

o Use the branch topics context menus to Send Branch to OPML format.

You can now import an OPML file and open it as a MindManager map.

Miscellaneous

Ability to insert floating topics by double-clicking map background added to MindManager Edit options.
