Quick Start: Create Mind Maps in just a few Clicks
The new mind map module from Collaboard allows you to create stunning mind maps with just a few clicks.

This way, you can build your mind map in no time at all, while always keeping track of your thoughts and ideas.
Automatic Color Selection for a Better Overview
Each branch of your mind map is automatically given a new color. This not only ensures a better overview, but also a visually appealing presentation of your ideas. This way, you can easily distinguish different branches of your mind map and structure your thoughts clearly.
Flexible Customization for a Personalized Design
The mind map module of Collaboard offers numerous ways to customize your mind map. You can choose from different shapes for your nodes – whether classic rectangles, rounded corners or a combination of both. Customize your mind map to fit your project best.
Choose from the following customization options:
- Horizontal or vertical alignment of the mind map
- 4 different options for node frames (rectangular, rounded, heavily rounded, no frame)
- Individual color customization of all connectors and nodes possible
- Fill colors can be added to nodes
- Highlighting of text in nodes
- Connectors with 6 different endings (arrow, circle, square, diamond, T-shape, arrow in line form)
Curved or Angular Connections – The Choice is Yours!
The nodes and connections are fully customizable, allowing you to tailor every detail to your preferences. Opt for curved lines for an organic flow or angular lines for a clean, structured appearance. This flexibility ensures you create the perfect mind map design for your specific needs.
Horizontal or Vertical Alignment with just one click
Depending on how you want to present your content, you can easily switch your mind map to horizontal or vertical view with a single click. This gives you maximum flexibility in how you display it and ensures that your mind map is always optimally structured – whether you are using it for brainstorming, a presentation or as a planning tool.
Expand your Mind Map with Multimedia Content
Collaboard's mind map feature goes beyond simple text and connecting lines. You can enhance your mind map with images, videos, sticky notes, and more to make your ideas more vivid and lively. This feature is beneficial for visually representing complex topics and adding depth to your thoughts.
Labeling the Connections – More Clarity for Your Ideas
Another helpful feature is the option to label the connections between nodes with text. This allows you to present relationships more precisely and communicate your train of thought more clearly. It's ideal for adding additional information to your mind map and for keeping things organized.
