3. Huge Improvements on Gantt chart
Gantt chart was not that satisfactory in the previous XMind versions. So we’ve
determined to make it more professional in the new version. In XMind 7, we
integrate Task information into Gantt chart. Now, you can show and edit task
info, including start/end date, assignee, priority and progress directly in
Gantt chart view. XMind 7 also allows exporting Gantt to images/PDF, or printing
it.

4. Information Card
XMind 7 provides a better way to show detail information. We call it an
Information Card. In Information Cards, you can choose to show or hide labels,
notes, hyperlinks and tasks. It will be found right under the topic.
|
5. Comments
You may send your inspirations within an XMind file to your colleague or a
friend. Ask for their comments. And in XMind 7, they can actually do Comment on
your mind map, instead of modifying the map directly. Sometimes, no comment is a
comment.
|
6. Callout
 Important
information deserves more attention. Callout was born to make it smooth and
simple. It’s a funny way for additional text. In XMind 7, Callout is not only a
shape, but also a real attachment to a topic. It also has sub-topics.
|
7. Export/Print Outline
 To
get a broad overview your mind map. You can export the outline of the mind map
in Text, PDF and MS Word file format for future use. This allows you to save
time and gain productivity. By printing the outline, your mind map becomes a
list of ideas and sub-ideas in tree form.
|
8. Multi-page Print
 Easily
print a large mind map to multiple pages. By printing a large map onto multiple
pieces of paper and then tape the pieces together, you won’t lose any details of
your mind maps. You can also spread them horizontally or vertically over
multiple pages for a better overview or to display as a poster.
|
9. Timeline
 We
introduce a new structure named Timeline. It can be used to display a list of
the events in chronological order and the trends for a subject. You can also use
it to help team members track milestones and time schedule of the project. We’ve
also added another Matrix (column) structure.
|
10. New Themes with 10 New Fonts
 XMind
7 packs 10 new amazing fonts! Fonts make mind maps more pretty, and prevent
disappointment when opening your work on another computer without fonts you
used. All our fonts are open source and cross-platform, which ensure your mind
map looks good on both Mac/Windows. XMind 7 still add tens of new themes, with
the new fonts.
