The best way to learn how to mind map is by using a mind mapping tool like Mindomo.
The new features and the new and clean interface makes mind mapping with Mindomo even easier than before. Now, all the actions are closer to reach.
The Advanced colour picker allows users to pick any colour by clicking on the colour palette, adding a colour code, or simply choosing one of the predefined colours.
It can be used for the background colour, for the topic, lines, and text colour.
The last four colours used will remain saved and you can choose them the next time you use the colour picker.

Now users can find all the key functionalities in the topic’s context menu that opens when you click on the blue triangle from the right side of the topic. You can choose to add notes, comments, links, bookmarks, videos, images, icons, recordings on the selected topic, and connections between two topics.
