Summary in Xmind

The Summary feature groups and highlights related topics so readers see the main idea quickly. Use summary to create a short overview, group items, or add a floating topic that links multiple branches. It works well for book reviews, study notes, and quick map overviews.

Select the topics you want to group, then apply Summary from the toolbar or context menu. A summary box appears that you can edit, move, or expand like a floating topic. You can customize the summary box style, color, and text for clarity.

• Group related subtopics to show a chapter or section overview.

• Replace boundaries with summaries to categorize items visually.

• Turn a summary into a floating topic to add more explanation or subnotes.

Summary in Xmind helps readers scan complex maps and keeps related ideas organized. Use it when you want a clear chapter theme, a categorized list, or a compact explanation without adding extra branches.
