Create and manage teams

Some people will use a single team in Mind Map Pro, but some will want to be part of multiple teams. It’s easy to create, manage and join new teams.

When you first sign up, Mind Map Pro will automatically create a new team for your first mind map.

To navigate to more teams or Doodles from a mind map, click on the ‘Home’ icon, which resembles a house.

From here, you can create a new team or a new Doodle.

To create a new team, click the green plus sign next to the word ‘Team’.

Choose a team name, read and agree to the terms and conditions, then click the blue ‘Create Team’ button.

Navigate to team info

After creating a new team, you will be taken directly to the ‘Team info’ page.

If you want to navigate back to that page later, there are two ways to do so:

1. Settings
2. Navigate via profile

Settings

Select a team from the dashboard by clicking the settings icon, resembling a cog, in line with your team.

Navigate via profile

If you are already viewing your team (and you can see your list of Doodles), click your profile icon, which displays your avatar, located at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Click on the ‘Team Info’ button.

To edit team information for another team, you can easily switch teams here by selecting your team from the list below.

The ‘Pending Invites’ tab will only be visible when you have pending invites.

Delete a pending invite

Remove team member

To remove a member from the team altogether, go to Team Info.

Refer to the list of users and click the red ‘Remove’ button, in line with the team member’s username.

This action will completely remove this member from the team. If you wish to re-invite this person to the team in future, you will need to invite their email address as you did the first time.

Update admin status

For each Doodle, you can different assign team roles to give team members different editing rights. Learn about assigning roles here.

The role with most privileges is the admin role. An admin has access to view and edit all Doodles in a team and can update team roles to change editing rights for any of the Doodles.

Privacy settings

You can update the privacy setting for your team, choosing between two options:

1. Incognito
2. Visible

Incognito team

Incognito means your team is hidden from public directories.

Visible team

Visible means your team is visible within public directories.

Update team privacy settings

To update the privacy settings, click on the ‘Settings’ tab, beside ‘Plan’.

Select the privacy setting that is best for your team by clicking the circle next to the option.

Once your selection is made, the circle will appear filled and the settings will automatically update.

Manage more than one team

You can have multiple teams if you work on concurrent but separate projects, or with different groups of collaborators.

When you log into Mind Map Pro, you can choose which team to navigate to. The teams list will be positioned in the left hand column when you are viewing your Doodles, so you can switch team easily.

For quick access, click on the ‘Upgrade’ button beside your team name.

No ‘Upgrade’ tab

Only the Team Owner can upgrade a team.

If you are wondering “How do I upgrade?” and feeling lost because you cannot see an ‘Upgrade’ tab, this probably means that you are not the Team Owner.

You can contact the Team Owner and ask them to upgrade your team, or upgrade another team you have created instead.

Why to upgrade

Upgrade your team for:

• Unlimited tasks
• Unlocked chat history
• More file space

If you have a discount code, type or copy/paste it in the box that says ‘Discount Code’.

Any discount you add will work for all team members in your plan.

Click the green ‘Upgrade Team’ to enjoy these benefits.
