Smart Guideline
Smart Alignment Guide helps you precisely align topics while editing your mind map. It ensures a cleaner layout and keeps your mind map visually organized.
How to Activate Smart Guideline
Activate Smart Guideline in Xmind App
Go to Xmind > Preferences to open the preferences panel; on Windows, click the hamburger menu in the toolbar's top-left corner > Preferences. Alternatively, use the shortcut Command + , (Mac) or Control + Shift + P (Windows).

In the Preferences panel, navigate to Smart Guideline > Select Always Display to activate the feature.

Effect Preview
When you are editing, smart guidelines will automatically appear to help you align — making it easier to keep your map neat and structured.

Activate Smart Guideline in Xmind AI
Different with Xmind App, smart guidelines will automatically appear when editing in Xmind AI, without the need of any settings.
