Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you start mapping.

Which file formats can I upload?

You can drag‑and‑drop PDFs, Word documents (DOCX), PowerPoint decks (PPTX) or simply paste plain text. The AI will parse the content and build the map.

Can I collaborate with other teachers?

Yes. After the map is generated you receive a shareable link that lets colleagues view or comment on the map without needing an account.

What export options are available?

Export your mind map as a high‑resolution PNG for worksheets or as a PDF for printable lesson plans. Both retain the interactive hierarchy when opened in compatible viewers.

Will the AI understand KS1‑specific language?

The model is trained on primary‑education content, so it recognises key stage terminology and structures ideas in a child‑friendly hierarchy.
