Impression is regarded as the second brain by many people, managing their own knowledge. By using grouping functions such as notebooks, labels and shortcuts. Scattered notes can be combined into a system for better management. Recently, Evernote introduced the mind map function. You can not only create mind maps directly in Evernote, but also integrate previous notes and present them as brain maps.

Only basic functions are provided, and the operation is simpler.

The new mind map function is hidden in the option "More New Information" on the right. It is very simple to use. The first button is to add a sibling node and the second button is to add a child node. Ordinary users can create up to 50 nodes, which can meet general needs. Upgrading to a premium account can increase to 200 nodes.

Mind mapping in notes does not provide many functions like professional brain mapping tools, but only provides basic functions and simplifies the operation as much as possible. In addition to function buttons, you can also use shortcut keys to operate. Enter key creates a sibling node, and Tab key creates a child node. Theoretically, you can draw the whole map with a keyboard, without worrying about disturbing your mind.

Read through the notes and organize the knowledge system efficiently.

In the mind map, you can drag and drop nodes at will to move and organize quickly. Support the insertion of external chains, greatly expanding the usage scenarios. If it's all, Evernote just adds a basic mind map function. In fact, its more powerful use is still behind, that is, to get through every note of Evernote.

As we mentioned earlier, Evernote can organize notes by grouping functions such as notebooks, labels and shortcuts. Mind mapping goes a step further, allowing your accumulated notes to be presented in the form of brain maps, which greatly improves the practicality. Its characteristic is to simplify each element in the note into a node, which can be dragged freely and integrated at will.

Select multiple notes and generate a brain map with one click.

In impression notes, mind maps can be used as follows: multiple notes are stored in a notebook as quot known content quot, and can be quickly viewed through tags. As an extension of quot, mind map can quickly integrate existing notes and output systematic concepts. It can be travel plan, article outline, video structure arrangement and meeting minutes. It can be applied in many ways.

In Evernote, besides linking notes and mind maps, there is also a function quot to create a mind map catalog quot. You can select multiple notes and generate mind maps with one click. Each node will automatically associate the corresponding notes, which is very convenient. You can quickly organize your existing notes by dragging and dropping.

If the previous notes belong to quot precipitation quot, mind map is more like a quick refining tool, which outputs the accumulated contents as concepts.

Different impression notes

As a representative of note-taking applications, Evernote is rich in functions, which leads to quot complex quot experience. On the function of mind mapping, we can see that Evernote does not provide many functions similar to professional brain mapping tools, but only retains the basic functions and pays attention to the integration with the whole note system.

This may be related to the secession and independence of China. The Evernote team mentioned in the blog that Evernote is entering a period of rapid product iteration, after which there will be more attempts of new functions. We also look forward to seeing a different "impression note" in the future.
