7. Import & Export
The crystalized results of your thinking should never be locked into a single software. MindLogic provides an extremely rich set of import and export options.
7.1 Import
If you have already accumulated a lot of notes in other software (such as OmniOutliner, Workflowy, Typora, etc.), you can convert them into MindLogic's logical graphs with one click.
How to operate:
On Mac, click File -> Import From... in the top system menu bar. Currently supported formats include:
- OPML Outline Files: The universal exchange format for major mind-mapping and outlining software. After importing, the hierarchical relationships are automatically converted into parent-child node connections in the graph.
- Markdown Files: Automatically parsed based on heading hierarchies (
#,##) or list indentation to quickly generate a tree-like graph structure.
7.2 Export
When you have completed a stunning architectural design or problem analysis, you can export the graph to various formats.
How to operate:
- Mac: Click
File -> Export As...in the top system menu bar. - iOS: Click the Export button (a square icon with an upward arrow) in the top toolbar.
Supported Export Formats:
- PNG High-Res Image: Exports a high-resolution bitmap with a transparent background, perfect for pasting directly into chat logs or PowerPoint presentations.
- PDF Vector Graphic: (Pro version premium feature) Exported PDF files support infinite zooming without quality loss, making them ideal for high-quality report document printing.
- CSV Data Spreadsheet: Exports all entities in the graph and the calculated results of their "Attributes & Formulas" into a standard Excel/CSV spreadsheet, facilitating further data analysis externally.
- JSON File: Exports MindLogic's underlying raw data, convenient for developers or scripts to process secondarily.
- Markdown (Mermaid): Reverse-compiles the visual graph structure into Mermaid flowchart code. You can paste the exported code directly into Github or Notion, and it will automatically render the flowchart!
- Draw.io Format (.drawio): Converts the graph into an XML format compatible with the open-source drawing tool Drawio.
