On the lucid website they write that you can import Mindmaps from different formats. But I really don’t find out the way to import by my own. Can anyone help me how to import a CSV from another Mindmap tool for example?

Import mind map from CSV
+1Best answer by Chloe
We have updated our core mind map functionality to be a better experience on the canvas, but it does not support import today. In order to access the import functionality, you can go to lucid.app, select to create a new document from a template, and choose a mind map template. You can also start from here: https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/templates/mind-map-template
You will see the mind map shapes, and the option to import, loaded into the left hand panel on your screen.
+1As it looks like I have to switch from Lucidspark to Lucidchart and I need an Enterprise-Plan for importing CSVs. That makes this product very uninteresting to me.
It would have been a benefit to import all my existing mindmaps from another collaboration-software and completely switch to Lucid.

Hi
- The blog post you are referencing is speaking to the ability to get started with imports from Microsoft Visio, Gliffy, Draw.io, and OmniGraffle to Lucidchart. To learn more about importing with those file types, please review this help center article and let us know if you have any questions.
- The ability to switch back and forth from Lucidspark and Lucidchart is our universal canvas feature, which is available on enterprise plans. For more information on this, please review this help center article.
- You can import a CSV file to create a flowchart on any plan type, one time with no data refresh -- for more information and step by step directions on how to do this, please review this help center article.

Hi,
Is there any format for importing from CSV to a Mind Map.
I have all the data in a CSV file, if needed I can modify the columns as per the Lucid Format and upload the file to prepare the mind map.
