Mindmap Integration

QuickPlanX provides seamless integration with mindmap applications through OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) file exchange. You can export your QuickPlanX projects to OPML format (.opml), which can be opened in various mindmap and outline applications. Similarly, you can import OPML files into QuickPlanX to create new projects.

Exporting from Mindmap Applications​

To prepare a mindmap file for import into QuickPlanX, you'll need to save it as an OPML file. Most mindmap applications support OPML export - check your application's export or save options for OPML format.

Importing into QuickPlanX​

QuickPlanX can create new projects by importing OPML files. For detailed instructions on the import process, see the Create Project documentation.
