Coggle vs MindMeister

2017. MindMeister allows to mindmap in Microsoft Teams



Mind mapping service MindMeister has introduced integration with Microsoft Teams' group chat feature. To utilize this integration, simply add a MindMeister tab to your Teams channel, enabling you to capture all your thoughts and plans within a mind map. This integration allows your team's conversation to continue seamlessly, while simultaneously allowing everyone to contribute to the map, ensuring that no important details are overlooked. The mind map format is highly effective for visualizing project plans, outlining strategies, brainstorming ideas, and taking concise meeting minutes. By using MindMeister within Microsoft Teams, you can collaboratively create mind maps without the need to switch between multiple tools, ensuring that everyone in your team remains on the same page throughout the collaborative process.


2017. MindMeister introduced all-new public map library



The public mind map library of MindMeister currently houses an extensive collection of nearly 400,000 maps, with numerous new creations being added on a daily basis. The newly revamped public map library features a fresh and user-friendly interface, making navigation easier. It adopts a layout similar to YouTube, encouraging commenting, liking, and sharing of maps. While these interactive features were already available in the previous library version, they now occupy a more prominent position, transforming the passive viewing of maps into an engaging community experience. The showcased maps are now categorized, allowing users to quickly browse through the top maps in each category. Clicking on a map thumbnail opens the map in a separate view that provides ample space for vibrant comment discussions. Users can directly view the mind map itself on the page, and as always, they have the ability to zoom in and out, expand and collapse branches, reposition the map, and access attached notes, links, videos, and more.


2017. Coggle allows to adjust the thickness and style of branches



Now, all our paid plans for the mind-mapping app Coggle come with an enhanced feature that allows users to customize the thickness and style of branches. To make these adjustments, simply right-click on an item to open the context menu. From there, choose the branch-style icon represented by a colour wheel. You can then select the desired branch thickness or choose between dashed and continuous styles. The "auto" thickness option has been modified to align with the default behavior, causing branches to slightly narrow with each level. As you click, the branch style for the selected branch and its children will be instantly updated. If you wish to modify only the current branch without affecting its children, hold down the [shift] key while selecting the desired style.


2017. MindMeister unifiers apps for iOS and Android



The latest versions of the MindMeister apps for iOS and Android offer a convenient and efficient way to create, edit, and collaborate on mind maps while on the go. These new apps showcase a refreshed map selection layout, presenting all mind maps in a grid format. By switching between tabs, users can quickly browse through thumbnail previews of each mind map, simplifying the process of finding and selecting the desired one. Both the iOS and Android apps enable users to create and edit mind maps and map folders. Real-time collaboration is supported across the mobile and web versions of MindMeister, allowing for seamless teamwork. Users can easily share mind maps directly from their devices and customize them with icons, colors, styles, and map themes. Additionally, the apps provide features such as creating, viewing, and editing notes, links, tasks, and attachments within mind maps. Drawing connections between nodes, delivering presentations, and exporting maps in RTF, PDF, and PNG formats are also supported. Furthermore, the apps ensure smooth synchronization of maps and folders with users' web-based accounts. However, it's worth noting that the app can be used as a stand-alone tool, even without a web-based account. These updated MindMeister apps for iOS and Android empower users with enhanced flexibility and convenience for mind mapping, making it easier to capture, organize, and collaborate on ideas anytime and anywhere.


2016. MindMeister gets new look and feel



The mind map editor MindMeister has undergone a subtle redesign, featuring updated button styles and repositioning of elements on the top, bottom, and sides of the interface. Notably, the old popover display for the icon library has been replaced, and users can now simply click on the small gray arrow next to the last visible icon in the sidebar to effortlessly switch between the standard sidebar view and the new, visually appealing icon library. Map settings, which can be accessed by clicking the (i) button in the top bar, now include map themes, map alignment options, and map properties. Additionally, the alignment options have been replaced with a recenter button located below the zoom function.


2016. MindMeister integrated with Confluence



The popular mind-mapping tool, MindMeister, has expanded its integration capabilities by introducing integration with the Confluence wiki collaboration tool developed by Atlassian. Confluence offers a range of practical features that enable teams to collaborate, share, and discuss their work effectively. With this update, MindMeister is now available as an add-on in the Atlassian Marketplace. Users can create mind maps using MindMeister's award-winning map editor directly within Confluence, eliminating the need to switch between platforms. Furthermore, the integration allows for seamless embedding of mind maps within Confluence pages, facilitating easy access and reference for team members.


2007. MindMeister - the new tool for mind-mapping
