Documents and pages

New, open, save, and close

• New creates a new single-page document and asks whether to save unsaved work.
• Open accepts .gomind and supported import formats. Opening XMind creates a GoMind document from its root topic tree.
• Save writes to the known path. Save As creates another .gomind copy.
• Close closes the current document and returns to the start center or blank workspace.
• Recent files are available from the start center and file manager.

Multiple pages

Use the page strip or page manager to:

• add, rename, duplicate, copy, and paste pages;
• reorder pages by dragging;
• export a page; and
• delete a page when another page remains.

Page links can jump between pages. If a target is removed, GoMind reports that it no longer exists.

Autosave and recovery

GoMind maintains recovery data for unexpected exits. Open File → More → Recovery to inspect available backups. A recovery copy is separate from the normal .gomind save; review it before replacing the current document.

Drag and drop

When a file is dropped onto the canvas, an untouched initial canvas may open it directly. For a document that already contains work, choose Import, Save Current and Open New, or Cancel.

Safe document workflow

Save before importing, applying a large layout, or changing a document-wide theme. Keep periodic local .gomind copies for important work.
