Pro Tip:

When moving subtopics, watch for visual cues (like connection lines) that indicate the new hierarchy level before releasing.

Advanced Moving Techniques

  • To change hierarchy levels:
    • Drag subtopics closer to or farther from their parent topic
    • Move topics between different branches
  • For floating topics:
    • Place anywhere on the canvas
    • Connect to other topics by dragging connection points
Note:

EdrawMind automatically maintains connections when moving topics. If connections break, use the relationship tools to reconnect them.
