I love the mindmap feature however the lack of the ability to easily change the font size is frustrating. I can do it node by node, but if I select the whole thing I can’t update (since it includes lines) and also new nodes are at the original (tiny) font size

@SarahW this is great feedback — thank you for taking the time to share in the community! We will put this on the list for future enhancements.

In the meantime, if you’d like to one-time, bulk-change the font size of a mind map you’ve already created, you are able to do this within Lucidchart. Here is a GIF showing how you can switch your editor from Lucidspark to Lucidchart, select the full mind map, change font size, and return to Lucidspark:

Upvote+1. In general I find the lack of formatting options for (Intelligent) Mind Maps frustrating. No boxes or bubbles, text formatting controls, or built-in features for making cross-links. Thanks

Hi ​@mindmapper, thank you for adding to this thread with your feedback! I apologize for the frustration here, and I can certainly understand why this would be useful for you.

Come on guys, it would be an easy fix to allow us to change the font size of a whole mind map and make it sticky so that new nodes follow the selected size.

😐

Same goes for org charts.

Thanks. That’s useful where you have a clean org chart with no other text elements (e.g. post-it notes), but doesn’t address the overall style (text to spacing ratio) as you build or add to one.
