Mindmaps help you visualize concepts, relationships, and structure from selected sources.

## Before you start

- Add one or more sources to your notebook.

- Wait for them to show **Ready**.

- Select the sources you want the map to use.

## Quick generate

1.  Open your notebook.

2.  Go to **Studio**.

3.  Click **Mind Map**.

4.  Open the generated map when the run finishes.

## Customize before generating

1.  In Studio, click the pencil icon on **Mind Map**.

2.  Choose a skill if one is available.

3.  Set the output language if needed.

4.  Add focus-area instructions, such as emphasizing cause and effect, definitions, timelines, or comparisons.

5.  Click **Generate**.

## After generation

Generated mindmaps appear in Studio history. You can reopen, rename, or delete them from the output menu.

## Tips

- Use a smaller source selection for a clearer map.

- Add custom instructions when you want Memo to prioritize a specific structure.

- If a legacy mind map already exists, use Customize to generate a fresh one.
