Corlecti MapStart a map

Thursday, 16:00. They want it as slides.

Slides, a PDF and a link are three of seven ways to see a map or hand it over. None of them changes the map, and all seven work on every plan.

Pending: views.seven.canvas

A block is a title and text

Open one to write in it. Drag it anywhere, and its connections follow.

Connect by dragging

Drag from one block to another, and a connection is drawn between them.

Step back and forward

Ctrl+Z undoes your last change on the canvas, and Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes it.

A picture you put on the map is part of the map, like a block, not another view of it.

canvas

You remember where you put it.

Every other view is drawn from the map by rules. The canvas is drawn by you, block by block.

A place you remember

You forget how a note was worded and still remember it sat bottom left. Blocks never move at random, so that memory keeps working.

Your layout is yours

An import, or your agent writing to the map, adds blocks beside yours and moves none of them. A new map keeps itself arranged: each new connection rearranges it, until you untick “Keep this map arranged”. Otherwise the whole map moves only when you press Arrange.

A map inside a map

A block can open a map of its own, for a topic that outgrows its branch. Press it, and you step inside. Blocks have no ceiling, so the free plan's 10 maps go a good deal further than 10 topics.

the launch map

What you take away, in four files.

These are exports of the map that tracks Corlecti Map's own launch: Markdown, a PDF, slides and .mmap. The .mmap file is the whole map as plain JSON. Download one and open it in the app you would use for any file of its kind.

Everything leaves with you in one .mmap file: blocks, connections and where each one sits. Import it into any map of yours, and every block comes back in place, on the free plan too.

history

Take the map back to Tuesday.

Each map keeps its snapshots under History in its settings, newest first. A restore asks before it replaces the map.

Snapshots you name

Save one with a press, and name it if you like. Each map keeps your 20 newest snapshots.

Taken for you

A snapshot is also taken by itself before an agent edit, an import or a write over MCP. Its name says why it was taken.

A restore keeps who wrote what

Blocks keep their identity through a restore, so each keeps its comments and who wrote it. The restore saves what it replaced, so you can undo it.

Pin the ones that matter

A pinned snapshot stays, however many you save after it, and does not count toward the 20. To read one before restoring, open it as a copy: a new map of its own.

search

Where did I write that line?

The dashboard's search field looks through every map two ways: for your exact words, or for what you meant. Word search finds an exact name, number or web address, even in a block saved a second ago. Meaning search finds a note you would word differently today.

By word, across every map

Switch the field to “by word” and type a phrase. Each result names its map, quotes the line with your words marked, and opens the map on that block.

By meaning, across every map

Describe what you remember about a note, and results arrive ranked by closeness. Meaning search covers every block's title and text.

Inside the open map

Press / on a map to find a block by the words in its title or its text.

Pending: views.search.word

A chat across all your maps

Open it from the dashboard, next to the search. Ask which maps mention something, where a new note belongs, or what you wrote last month. It changes nothing: to build, it points you to the map, where the map's own agent works in its chat.

Write a map, then hand it over.

Open it as a graph, a PDF or a link once it has a few blocks.

Included in the free plan.
