Map outline

A sidebar panel showing your mind map structure with search, groups, and navigation.

The Map outline panel appears in the right sidebar when mindmap mode is active. It shows all root nodes organized by canvas groups.

Toolbar

The toolbar at the top of the panel has two buttons:

• Search — toggle a text filter to find nodes and groups by name

• Collapse/Expand all — toggle all groups collapsed or expanded

Root nodes

Each root node appears as a row in the panel. Long titles are truncated with an ellipsis. Markdown links in titles display as clean text (e.g., [My Link](url) shows as "My Link").

Click a root node to select it on the canvas and zoom to it. The clicked node stays highlighted — this is the active node highlight.

Bidirectional sync — clicking a root node on the canvas also highlights it in the outline. Clicking empty canvas or pressing Escape clears the highlight.

Groups

Groups match canvas groups and are sorted by their position on the canvas (top-left to bottom-right). Each group header shows:

• Group name

• Node count badge

• Collapse chevron

Group actions

Action	Result
Click group header	Toggle collapse/expand
Double-click group name	Rename inline (click away to save, Escape to cancel)
Right-click group header	Context menu: Rename group, Layout forest

Drag and drop

Each root node has a grip handle that appears on hover. Drag it to:

• Move a tree from ungrouped area into a group

• Move a tree between groups

• Drag a tree out of a group to the ungrouped area

When you drop a tree into a group, the entire subtree moves together (preserving left/right arrangement) and forest layout runs automatically.

Multi-select and grouping

Ctrl+click ungrouped root nodes to multi-select them. Then right-click and choose Create group to wrap them in a new canvas group. The group is created around all selected trees and enters edit mode for naming.

Search

Click the search icon to show a filter input. Type to filter root nodes and groups by name. Groups are shown if the group name or any child root matches the search query.
