Import from other apps

The importer understands Markdown, OPML, FreeMind, XMind, yEd GraphML and 123Mind's own format. Open it from the library's overflow menu (Import mind map), from the Import & Migrate card in the Tools tab, or from the Import outline home-screen shortcut.

What to expect

Before you choose files, the app explains what will and will not survive the move:

• Audio and comments from other tools do not come across.
• Task and progress details, and custom attributes, may not convert.
• Floating topics are re-attached to the central node.
• App themes do not convert.
• Markdown tables and inline images are not imported.
• Import is one-way: 123Mind cannot write a file another tool will read back as its own format.

Converting files

1. Tap Choose files and select one or more files. The app detects each file's format.
2. In the Convert files list, tick a file to import it into your library. Leave it unticked to convert it only and write out a 123Mind file.
3. Use Choose tags to tag everything you are importing in one go.
4. Tap Convert. The progress dialog shows which file it is on and can be cancelled.
5. When it finishes, the Migration complete report shows how many files were imported, exported or failed, along with the content that was recognised — notes, hyperlinks, markers, relationships, boundaries, checkboxes, task dates and images.

Limits and gaps

• Files larger than 64 MB are not imported.
• MindManager.mmap files are recognised and explained, but there is no importer for them yet. Export to OPML or Markdown from MindManager and import that instead.
• Documents from the separate MindNode app are detected too. Export them from that app as Markdown, OPML or FreeMind first.
• There is no XMind export— XMind files can be read, not written.
