Sharing a map lets you collaborate with other people or give them access to view your work. Mindmup provides several sharing options, so you can control who has access and what they can do with the map.
You can invite specific people by email, share with teams, give access to all members of your organization, or allow access using a link. You can also review who currently has access and change or remove their permissions.
