Where Does MindManager Store Maps and Library?

Where MindManager keeps My Maps, the Library and user data.

Last updated

MindManager splits user files three ways: Documents\My Maps for your map documents, LocalAppData Mindjet versioned folders for user data, and a Library subtree for templates, Map Parts, icons and styles. Version numbers ride in every path.

The Library survives uninstalls by design so upgrades keep custom content. Registry keys under the Mindjet tree record deploy choices. Move Library folders per the migration guide rather than reinstalling content.

Where MindManager stores this, by platform

Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mindjet\MindManager\<version>\

Versioned user data plus Library with templates, Map Parts, icons and styles. Maps default to Documents My Maps. Migrate Library contents between version folders on upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate custom templates to a new MindManager version?

Copy the versioned Library ENU folder contents into the new version library path. The migration guide documents exactly this per-version move for Map Parts, templates, icons and styles.

Where are my MindManager map files?

Look in Documents My Maps first. That is the default map home across versions, separate from the LocalAppData Library tree that holds reusable parts and themes.
