[DELIVERED] 💡 Feature Request: Presentations in the New Editor 🎥

I used to love using working with the presentation editor to show off mind maps to my clients... would really love this feature in the new editor.

Still two months after the last information about this essential feature. Like many of you said before this is an absolutely necessary part of mindmeister. I cannot understand how you can launch a NEW Mindmeister without it.

I have to admit, I miss many of the legacy editor features. MM seems to have gone the way of XMind in a "simple, light" version, rather than the richer, more functional approach of the old version.

TBH, many of the differentiators of MM that brought me to it in the first place have been lost in the re-design. Presentation Mode (with user-defined focus/zoom), Small side-icons, History timeline, Task completion status reflected in MM node - none are present in the new model. I used the old MM as a case study of how my own company's Cybersecurity link analysis and journalling app should be implemented - it was a case study in design brilliance.

Sorry for the rant here; I don't have time to unwind this slowly over time :-) I would love to read the market forces that led it in this direction; I know many apps I fall in love with are often too complex to gain mass-market momentum, and maybe it's the same pressures here. But I feel it is better to share honest feedback to a team and product that has excelled for so long. Feel free to read and delete.

@Andres D'Andrea Thank you for your explaining response.

For me it is much more simple.

• Meister developed a new version of Mindmeister on a new engine. You all know about the features of the old version and how important basic features are for some customers.
• The new version lacks of some of these basic features.
• Nontheless you force your users to change to the new version quite fast. Even there is not even a edit feature on the mobile app.
• One day you decide you stop rolling back so the old version of a map. And you not even announce this.

I am really sorry for writing this but for users this is a nightmare and I am loosing trust in a before absolutely reliable tool for my daily work and processes.

I fully appreciate the need for refactoring code, and the new editor does look beautiful.

As I say, my caution is around the idea that MM might prioritise simplicity over functionality. If the intention is still to get to feature parity - including timelines, clear iconography and tasks, etc, then fantastic!

As long as the ethos and belief is still there for these productivity features of the tool, then great!

Plus one for this request. Though I don't use Mindmeister a lot, the main reason I use it is for presentation mode. I almost cancelled my subscription a couple of weeks ago but talked myself out of it because, for me, Presentation mode was worth the price on its own.

Am I the only one who dislikes the new editor? The beauty of the old one was that it was fast and simple.

With the new one, there are several more button or mouse click to get to a simple icon, the ones previously used are either missing or buried under hundreds of others. Hovering over comments or notes no longer displays the contents. It seems like the clean fuctionality has been lost in the pursuit for innefficient "feature richness" and having attempted to use for a few weeks, I think I have now given up.

The inability to revert a mistakenly "upgraded" map has rendered existing maps unuseable for me. Sadly, I will have to look elsewhere.

Happily, I have found the means to open my old maps using "open map in legacy editor" which makes Mindmeister useable for my personal needs. I imagine this will not last forever, but for now I am happy to resubscribe.

The risks we take using cloud based services is clear. If the proprietors decide to change, you are forced to relearn of find an alternative. I much prefer local downloaded software on the basis that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Adding unwanted features often causes frustration for the user. Microsoft are the leaders in that particular field.

I am happy for the timebeing.

The presentation feature is the entire reason why my company chose this product over others and as soon as we purchased it, the update came through and removed the feature. We look forward to its return so we can once again use the feature we purchased the software for. Thank you.

Yes, I agreee with @Dan Locke, @Shad and all you other guys. It is more than disappointing what is happening and not happening in terms of this topic but even more disappointing MeisterLabs just stopped any communication on this.

I am starting to guess they are in really bad trouble and maneuver their products and company into out. I really hope they come back. But time is running out.
