Importing files and external mind maps
NuromBoard brings common documents, media, spreadsheets, and mind map files onto the canvas. Different formats are converted into elements suited to reading, editing, or referencing.
Main supported formats
These include images, GIFs, video, audio, PDF, presentations, Markdown, Word, Excel/CSV, JSON, TXT, XMind, FreeMind/OPML, GitMind, Excalidraw, Nurom local backups, and ordinary attachments.
Steps
- 1Choose the import type
Pick the matching format from the import entry in the whiteboard menu so you do not use the wrong conversion flow.
- 2Select the file and wait for parsing
With large or complex files, wait for the upload and parsing to finish and do not trigger the import again.
- 3Check the conversion result
Confirm that text, images, tables, node levels, and attachments are complete, then adjust the position on the canvas.
- 4Save to the project
Keep the imported result and the original file together in the project so the source can be traced and edited later.
FAQ
Can I keep editing after importing XMind?
Supported mind map structures are converted into editable content; complex styling and third-party-specific capabilities may need to be adjusted again after import.
Why does a large file import take time?
The file has to be uploaded, parsed, and turned into canvas elements. Clicking repeatedly can create duplicate elements, so wait for loading and preview to finish.
