Why does something go wrong when I try to create a map from a map?

I'm trying to take part of my mindmap to make it into a 'sub-map' because my main map has become too large. When I try to do this by clicking 'Create as Map' from the bubble I want to make into a sub-map it comes up with the following error message "Something went wrong while converting your map. Please try again." I have tried logging out and logging back in again, and testing on a different map and get the same error so it's not map-specific. Is this because I only have the free version? I've tried FAQs and this forum but can't find the issues.

    Hi @PJP and welcome!

    Looking into this now. Just to confirm - how many maps do you have? It could be that you already have 3 mind maps (the limit on a Basic account) and hence can't create a 4th map from one of your 3.

    Best,

    Thanks for your super-speedy reply. Yes they were the steps that I took, but after I have clicked 'Ok' in the third of your images above, it comes up with this so I cannot get any further :-(

    Ah that will be it, I have 3 maps! It would be super-helpful if it told me that in the error wouldn't it! Ok I will just need to make do with having one massive map then! Thank you so much for your help :-)

    Hi!

    Yes I absolutely agree with you - the error message makes it a mystery!

    I'll see what we can do on this front.

    Happy to help!
