Brainstorming is a problem-solving approach by generating new ideas, topics, and solutions. The process begins with a defined objective to achieve or problem to solve followed by exploring all the possible angles. In the professional world of collaborative work, team members brainstorm ideas and topics without any judgment. These brainstormed ideas are transformed into a mind map after proper analysis and discussion.

EdrawMind offers an excellent brainstorming mode where you can brainstorm ideas collaboratively, group the topics distinctively, analyze the ideas thoroughly, and transform them into a mind map structure instantly. You can collect random ideas, group them as per priority, and connect them. You can even use a timer to conduct the brainstorming session within time limits. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to open and use brainstorming mode.

If you want to delete any collected idea, select the idea and press the Del key.

Step 3 Once you have collected all the ideas, drag and drop them into the existing mind map. If an idea is connected to the main topic, drag and drop it directly on the main topic so that it gets mapped as a subtopic automatically.
