Mind Map Focus

1 Use Cases

💡 As your mind map fills up with more and more cards, studying within it can sometimes feel distracting. For example, when your main task is to study the knowledge points on a single card, the surrounding cards may compete for your attention while you write. In this case, you can enter Focus mode for that card: every card except this one and all of its sub-cards is hidden, so you can concentrate on studying the current card.
