Tips & Tricks
- When using keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste, hold ctrl then tap one time the x, c, or v (x=cut, c=copy, v=paste) very quickly
- Create Map Shortcuts, or Quick-Links to JUMP to areas of your map you use often. Also helpful as a way to communicate to others on your map where to look..."See my Shortcut #3 !" This is also how you create slides for presentations. *Select the top 'Shortcuts & Presentations' tab, then Drag & Drop Topics into the top toolbar.
- Hit 'Share' in the top toolbar to Invite others to your map. It turns your Comapping into a Topic-Based Chat Room!
- Zoom out w/ the toolbar slider or by holding <CTRL> + mouse wheel. This is a good way to back up and see more of your map.
- Hit <TAB> to 'focus' on your selected topic.
- Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through a map! Click inside a selected topic to edit it.
- Many of the toolbar ICONS change in color or sequence if you click on them in the map, or Right-click them in the map to select a specific icon. R-click can also remove an icon, or click them again in the toolbar above to remove.
- Format multiple topics as at one time by selecting each using +select or by draggin a box w/ your mouse...then click again on any of the selected topics and format in the pop-up box under that topic.
