Mind Map Summary: Create Summary Nodes Across Branches and Extend Them into New Branches

1 What Is Summary?

💡 Summary — A Smart Tool for Structured Synthesis:

The Summary feature consolidates multiple mind map cards to generate a new summary card that captures the core content and distills the key points. When a mind map is organized primarily as a hierarchy, Summary enables vertical integration and horizontal comparison of knowledge, weaving scattered concepts into a clear logical thread.

In addition, the generated summary card can be further extended into new tree branches, supporting divergent thinking and cross-topic expansion to help you build a more systematic and in-depth knowledge network.
