Why use a Mindomo mind map template?

Every Mindomo template opens with its structure already in place: descriptive topics, guiding notes attached to the branches where people usually get stuck, and a default shape that new topics inherit. Edit it in the browser, switch it to a concept map, outline or Gantt chart without redrawing anything, and export it in more than twenty formats.
