OneNoteGem Mind Map for OneNote allows users to create mind maps using native elements, incorporating a time axis and leveraging all 138 OneNote tags. While this add-in is akin to Visio brainstorming, it distinguishes itself by integrating seamlessly with OneNote's features.
Despite its simplicity in drawing mind maps compared to other dedicated software, the add-in facilitates easy dragging and dropping of topics anywhere on the OneNote page. A "Refresh Redraw" button helps redraw the mind map if adjustments are made, providing move features for precise positioning.
The unique strength of this add-in lies in enabling mind map topics to harness all native OneNote features, including links, to-do lists, tags, tables, mathematical equations, and more. Unlike other mind-mapping tools, tightly integrates with OneNote, allowing users to incorporate page links within mind-map topics for easy navigation. If users prioritize these OneNote-centric features, OneNoteGem Mind Map stands out as a valuable choice, although users seeking more advanced drawing functions may explore alternative mind map add-ins.
