How to create a Mind map with Miro
Miro offers the perfect balance of simplicity and function for bringing your ideas to life.
Start with a central concept
Click anywhere on the Miro board to add a node with a problem youβd like to solve, an idea youβd like to explore, or another concept for the mind map. All of your related ideas will extend from this core.
Add branches
For every new idea you have, create a branch (a line connecting the ideas) with a child node. In Miro, click on the plus sign on either side of a node to add a child node. Each concept can have unlimited branches and sub-branches, so the ideas can continue to flow.
Make it colorful and bright
Colorful and curvy or thin black and angular styles. Colors can help you keep your ideas visually organized and easily understandable. You can choose a new color for a branch using Miroβs palette tool. To move nodes around, simply drag and drop.
Choose the style and orientation
Π‘hoose the style for your mind map (the nodes can either use curved or straight lines) and change the orientation.
Collapse branches for the right level of detail
Navigate large mind maps more easily and collaborate with others. Collapse branches to view high-level concepts or zoom in on critical details.
Organize your mind map in one-click
Automatically keep your mind map aligned, even when you move or create new nodes.

Mind map FAQs
Mind maps are great for any time you need to organize ideas, thoughts, or concepts and see how they are interrelated. They are especially useful for brainstorming sessions, problem solving workshops, or note-taking.
You can share your mind map with your team at any time by using the Share button at the top of your Miro board. You have the option to allow them to view, comment on, or edit your mind map. You can also download your mind map as a PDF, if you want an artifact to share in other channels.
To brainstorm with a mind map, start with one central idea or problem in the middle of the page or board. Establish a few rules, so people know how the session is going to progress. There are a ton of different brainstorming techniques you can use to generate multiple new ideas quickly. As each new idea flows, simply add it to a new node on your virtual mind map.
