The Grid Structure, a table-shape chart structure, is a vital update in the latest Xmind (Beta), helping users to segment and organize their thoughts with precision and clarity. It is a flexible format that is particularly effective for strategic planning but can be adapted to various needs such as project management, personal goal setting, and creative brainstorming.

When you use the Grid Structure, you divide your space into multiple identifiable sections, making it easier to manage complexity and anticipate potential intersections or dependencies between various elements of your plan.

Tutorials and Tips

Previously, creating table charts like this required a labor-intensive process involving multiple meticulous steps. You had to generate Floating Topics, position them with precision, and then carefully draw Boundaries around each to signify cell borders. This task demanded a considerable amount of time and attention to detail, ensuring alignment and proper organization. Fortunately, the Grid Structure has simplified all of these.

One-click to Create

Open Xmind (Beta) and select the Central Topic, go to the Format panel and click Style, and you can create a Grid chart with one click.

This customization can transform your chart into a more dynamic and visually engaging tool, better suited to convey the intricacies of your information.
