Hi! I’m Shanna from the Lucid help center team! I’m here to tell you about the updated mind map experience in Lucidchart, which now matches the awesome functionality we offer in Lucidspark (check out that community post here). 

Use this functionality to conceptualize and build on a main theme. For example, the screenshot below shows a mind map in which ideas for effectively managing time are being explored by breaking it down in an organized way.

To begin building your own mind map, open a Lucidchart document and follow step-by-step instructions in our Create a mind map in Lucid article in the help center.

Share in the comments below how you are leveraging the mind map functionality for your work. We can’t wait to hear from you!

I too am very frustrated not to have the old lucidchart mind map abilities. They seem to be completely gone, it was the sole reason I paid for Lucidchart years ago, and I use it regularly.

 

Very disappointed and looking for alternatives.

Hi ​@BenW,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I understand how important the old mind map functionality was to your workflow, and I’m sorry to hear how disappointing it’s been to lose access to a feature you relied on.

While we’re excited about the improvements in the new mind map experience, we also know it doesn’t cover every use case yet. Your feedback about how you’ve used the older version is very valuable, and I encourage you to add your thoughts in our Product Feedback Section (or upvote similar ideas that have already been shared). This helps our product team better understand demand and prioritize improvements.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, and I’ll make sure your comments are passed along internally as well.

Chiming in here.

For all the reasons stated I severely miss the old mind map experience.

I’m trying to create a mind map now. I have a beautiful one I created for a topic several years ago and need to create a significantly updated one from scratch on the same topic.

The new mind map is immensely constraining and is stifling my creativity. Definitely a change in the wrong direction.
