Gantt Chart
Switch seamlessly between your mind map and the Gantt chart. All changes stay synced across both views.
Switch to Gantt chart view in Xmind
On desktop app
After planning your tasks in a mind map, click the Gantt icon on the toolbar, or go to View > Gantt Chart to open the Gantt view.
In the Gantt view, drag the time bar to adjust task duration. Dependent tasks update automatically—no manual changes needed.
Drag the progress bar directly on the task bar to mark progress.
Click any task to edit its details directly in the left panel. All updates sync instantly with your mind map.
On web
Click the Gantt icon on the toolbar to open the Gantt view, and all tasks will appear in a timeline pop-up.
Other actions, such as adjusting the time bar, dragging the progress bar, or editing task details, work the same as in the Desktop version.
💡 Tip: Zoom in or out in Gantt view on either desktop or web to get a clearer overview of your project timeline.
