Turning off the Auto-layout gives you total creative freedom to organize your mind map exactly how you see it in your head.
Here is the exact way to enable free movement:
Open the Properties Panel: Navigate to the View tab, select Panels, and click Properties.
Select Your Workspace: Click on the empty background of your mind map to ensure you are looking at the overall map settings.
Disable Auto-Layout: In the Properties panel, click the Branches tab and simply uncheck the Auto-layout box.
With Auto-layout off, you have complete control over your layout.
This flexibility is the key to creating unique, non-linear maps that perfectly mirror your thought process and help you visualize complex connections in a snap!
