# Use the ‘insert’ key to create a ‘child node’ this is a sub-concept of your current concept.  

# Use the ‘insert’ key to create a ‘child node’ this is a sub-concept of your current concept.  

# Use the ‘enter’ key to create a ‘sibling’ this is a parallel concept to your current concept.

# Use the ‘enter’ key to create a ‘sibling’ this is a parallel concept to your current concept.

Thus you can create a concept map  with knowing just two functions – add child node (insert) and add sibling node (enter). In this manner, a concept map can be used to classify and categorise information.

# By default your concept map is saved by Freeplane as a '.mm' format file as shown in the first image. While saving the file, Freeplane will display the file browser, to allow you to select the folder in which you can save your file. By default, the file is saved in your home folder.

# However, the concept map can be saved in many other formats. You can export the map to a text document file (in .odt or .doc formats). You can also export the map as an image (in .png or .jpeg formats) or as a web page (in .html format), as shown in the second image.

Note : If you save the Map in .odt format all the content in your map will appear as table of contents. The Main node will be the name of the chapter, sub nodes will be the sub points and so on. Whenever it is required to print the map as it is then better option will be to export it in .pdf extension.

' ' 'After upload/share my concept map on the Internet, inserted Images are not displaying' ' '

'''After upload/share my concept map on the Internet, inserted Images are not displaying'''

 

When you insert an image into your concept map, you do not actually 'save' the image inside the concept map.  Freeplane will only store the 'path' information, that is the location of the image file on your computer. '''Now when you mail the concept map to someone else or upload it on a web page, the image is not shared along with the concept map'''. When the map is opened by another person, Freeplane will try to locate the image again in the same location as it is in your computer, and will fail to find it. Hence, the image will not appear.

One way of not facing this problem would be to hyperlink to an image on the web/internet. In which case when you click on the link, Freeplane will try to get the image from the web, and if there is connectivity you will be able to access the image. Hence, the images not appearing subsequently is not a problem, but a feature. One solution given by Rakesh sir is to export your concept map (showing the image) itself as an image. This image export will show the inserted image (as a part of the exported image). You can upload this image export of the concept map, along with the concept map (.mm files), so that others can see the images you inserted in your concept map.
