A practical guide to Presentation Mode

The maintained MAPb2 definition for Presentation Mode is straightforward: step through map branches with smooth camera transitions. Its role in a larger visual workflow is to present or collaborate. Understanding mind mapping helps set the right expectation for the result.

Reproducible worked example

Try the “Presentation Mode” example

Starting point

Load the built-in “Presentation Mode” demo. It starts with labels such as Customer satisfaction, Company milestones, Welcome & Updates, Team All-Hands, and Q1 Results and zoom: 1.

What to verify

Use Presentation Mode to step through map branches with smooth camera transitions. The demo should produce a transformed, checked, or presentation-ready result that can be compared with its starting material; confirm that Customer satisfaction, Company milestones, and Welcome & Updates appear in the result and compare the visible state with zoom: 1.

The example is derived from the maintained fixture behind Presentation Mode's Try Demo control, rather than from an invented scenario. It exercises the “present or collaborate” workflow with mind mapping and visual thinking as review lenses.
