WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 15
New 64-Bit version of MindManager

We‟re excited to announce our new 64-bit version of MindManager, which seamlessly integrates with
the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office. Note: If you‟re using 3rd party add-ins with MindManager, check
with your vendor to see when they will deliver an update that works on MindManager‟s 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 task‟s 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
o
Export the whole map using the export options.
Export the whole map by using the “Save as” feature and selecting OPML.
o
Use the branch topic‟s 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.
