Browser Mind Map Basics

A browser mind map is a diagram you create and edit inside a web page, with no software to install. It starts from one central idea, and branches spread out into related subtopics, then into details. Most maps use four to six main branches, each with supporting points. The example map below shows that structure for mind mapping itself.

Central topic: the single idea the whole map is built around
Main branches: the major categories or themes that split from the centre
Sub-branches: the supporting facts, steps or examples under each branch
Editing and export: changing nodes, adding detail, and saving the result

Use the map to review, plan or revise a subject. Then create a personalized browser mind map from your own notes with CogniGuide.

What is the difference between a mind map and a concept map?
