### Presentation

To promote the teamwork or check the completed work, we need to display the mind map. In XMind Pro, the Presentation Mode is an alternative "full-screen" view that allows you to browse your map with a minimum of distraction. It makes the map appear on the whole screen rather than in a window. You can use shortcut keys and a hovering toolbar in this mode to view and navigate map easily.

Three ways to Enter Presentation Mode:

- Choose "View - Presentation" on the menu.
- Use shortcut key 'F5'.
- If you are using Windows, you can also use Command line: "xmind -p xxx.xmind".

To Navigate Topics:

1. Use 'Enter' and 'Tab':
   - Enter key brings you to see sibiling topics one by one.
   - Tab key brings you to subtopic.
2. Use Arrow key:
   - Up and Down keys let you navigate the topics in the same level.
   - Right and Left keys let you navigate to children topic and back to parent topic.
3. Use 'Space' key: This will let you navigate all topics sequentially.
4. Ues Outline:
   - Open Sidebar through Button Panel on the hovering toolbar.
   - Select topic in the outline.
   - Selected topic will move to the center of screen hightlighted.

Note:

- Any selected topic will move to screen center automatically.
- If you are focusing on the Central Topic, the keys may bring different result:
  1. Enter: Move to floating topics, if there are any in the map.
  2. Space: Move to the first Main Topic.
  3. Up or Down keys: Move to Main Topics.

Toolbar Panel in Presentation:

1. Move the mouse to the bottom of the screen.

   - Turn Light On/Off: Click to unlock map to see the whole map.

   - Outline: For navigating any a topic directly.
   - Filter: For finding the target topic with the slected marker or label quickly.
