I want to draw mind-maps with collapsible branches and that the arrows or lines connecting the different branches can be clicked on, and the user can be able to insert either an image, text, or a document that could be opened and closed when not needed.
Hi @Roland_Oben - thanks for posting! This seems to be more of a feature request, so I moved this over to share feedback and shortened your topic title for ease (since you included the same details in the body of your topic).
Hello @ksn thanks so much for making this decision. You know, I was just trying to see if this feature was available already, but your response proves that it is not available, hence it should be a new feature, but trust me that it would be a wonderful tool if this feature could be added. You know, most organizations have tools like the confluence (a very good tool, but serves the purpose of providing text details about knowledge sharing). It is owned by the company called Atlassian. With too much of text details, generally, when a new hire comes, it is difficult to quickly get the key information from there, or to know exactly where to start and where to end, and not only that, one would have to spend months reading all the stuff in there before getting a bird’s eye view of how the whole thing is structed and divided into what branches. But with this idea I am suggesting for Figma to implement, eventually, all the tones of text, images and ideas hidden in those tones of text, could be embedded in a structure that would already give that missing bird’s-eye view in just a twinkle of an eye. And let’s say a new hire or an existing employee has problems with a specific area not working, just by locating that section in this huge mind-map, the arrows leading to this section would be containing the key information that could quickly give the user a hint as to why this thing is not working. Let say a decision was made last week to suspend that section temporarily, and with some details as to which alternative section is to be used, in this case, on that arrow leading to this section, some short paragraph or document could be inserted, and later on, any user who wants to check why that section is not working, or how that section functions, would just have to click on an icon on the body of the arrow, and that document showing the details could just pop up, for the user to see, and everything else would be clear, and the user gets this key information within a very short space of time without being compelled to go through tones of text.
I am available for further explanations if needed. Thanks.
Also, if there is any alternative way for me to achieve this with the existing Figma, even if it is not exactly what I described, but comes close to that, please let me know, so that I can start putting that to use. I am still new to Figma, so I would appreciate any suggestions from people who have been using Figma for a while.
Thanks again @ksn.
