Topic Filtering

The Topic Filtering function in Xmind offers a powerful way to sift through your mind map and isolate specific topics based on criteria like topic, note, marker, label, task or priority.

Topic filtering using Marker & Label & Task

Topic filtering allows you to find and filter topics using Marker & Label & Task more quickly. When you attempt to locate the filtered topics using specific marker, label and task, the remainder of the mind map becomes hidden.

Mouse over marker, label, right click and select Highlight Relevant Topics or mouse over task, Highlight Completed/Uncompleted Task to evoke topic filtering.
