XMind enables you to attach external files in any formats to a single topic and the attachments will appear as its subtopics. The content of these subtopics are the same as the file name of attached files. In this way you can enrich your ideas by connecting a variety of vivid pieces of information together.

Two different manners to add the attachment:

The first one:

  1. Select the topic.
  2. Open the Attachment dialog via any way of following:
    • Choose "Insert > Attachment" in the menu.
    • Click 'attachment' iconAttachment on the toolbar.
  3. Navigate to the file(s), and click 'OK'.
  4. Added file(s) will be the subtopic(s) of target topic.

 

The second one:

  1. Select the file(s) you want to add into XMind.
  2. Drag the file(s) into the map.
  3. Drop file(s) to the target topic as its subtopic.
  4. Drop file(s) to the blank place as map's floating topic(s).
