You can paste the link into a map, document, or email message. In the Versions list, select the version you want to link to, and then click Copy Link. In Mindjet Files window Files list, select the file whose version you want to refer to, and then click the Versions tab at the bottom of the window. If you want to refer to a previous version, you can create a link that you can paste into a map, document, or email message: If the version is not a map, it opens in read-only mode in its associated application. The map status indicator at upper-left shows that the map is Read-Only, and displays the version number. If the version is a map, it opens in the MindManager mapping window. In the Versions list, select the version you want to view, and then click View. In Mindjet Files window Files list, select the file whose versions you want to view, and then click the Versions tab at the bottom of the window. You can open Versions in read-only mode so you can quickly scan through them to find content, or identify which one you want to revert to. You can create many versions of a file, giving you many snapshots of the document at specific points in its evolution. This version becomes the current working copy that you can access from the Files list. What if you don’t like the changes you made to MyMap.mmap? You can go back to MyMap.mmap, Version 1.0 by reverting the working copy to that version. You changed MyMap.mmap but this did not affect its revision, MyMap.mmap 1.0. Select MyMap.mmap in the Files list, open it, edit it, and save it. Now, you have your working copy of MyMap.mmap in the Files list, and a "backup" version, MyMap.mmap 1.0 which you can see on the Versions tab. It is automatically tagged as Version 1.0, and you add the comment: “This is the original file I created last week.” You create a version of a map in your Files list, MyMap.mmap. You'll be offered the option to create a version when you edit a map or file, but you can create a version at any time. Versions you create a read-only, but you can save them locally for editing. The clearer the comments, the more useful the versioning will be to you and to other users. The comments you attach to each version are critical. Versioning offers individual users a way to create a separate copy of the file that is stored online each time they make revisions and attach a comment to the file about the changes made to it. MindManager supports collaborative editing by allowing multiple users to edit a map or other file stored online in Mindjet's cloud. If you need to jettison the current version, you can revert to the previous version. If you cut something from the current version, you can go back to a previous version and find that content. This lets you keep static copies of the document as it exists at different points in the edit cycle. However, if you have a MindManager Plus, Mindjet for Business, or ProjectDirector account, you can turn them on using Options.Ĭreating a version (or "versioning") is a way to freeze a file, and create a "backup" copy of it that is unaffected by subsequent editing. Note: The online features Mindjet Files and Mindjet Tasks are no longer offered to new customers.
