Feature Requests

Hi, it would be very helpful if the ClickUp Mind Map view allowed image or document uploads. I use it often, and attaching files would make my presentations clearer and easier to understand. Although the Whiteboard is available, I prefer the Mind Map for its simplicity. Having this feature would really help. Thank you.

I would like to have the possibility to retract/hide branches that I am not using at a given moment so that my mindmap takes up less space on the screen and is much more practical.

Hello ClickUp Team, I use ClickUp’s Mind Map feature daily to organize project concepts and brainstorm ideas. It’s a fantastic and intuitive tool, but as the number of nodes increases, I’ve encountered a challenge. When the map grows, the nodes and lines start to overlap, making the entire structure cluttered and harder to read. Once there are more than about 10 nodes, connection lines cross over each other and text overlaps, forcing me to spend more time manually adjusting layouts instead of focusing on the ideas themselves. That’s why I’d love to request an “Auto-Clean” feature. This feature would automatically adjust node spacing and line placement to minimize overlaps and keep the map visually clear . For example, tools like XMind or Miro automatically optimize spacing when new nodes are added — if ClickUp introduced a similar function, it would make expanding mind maps much smoother and more efficient. In my own experience, I’ve been building a “Product Development Concept Map” within ClickUp, collaborating live with about 3 team members. As the map grows, manually rearranging nodes becomes a time-consuming task, making it difficult to focus on content review. If the “Auto-Clean” feature existed, it would drastically reduce layout management time and allow me to focus purely on creative and structural thinking. ClickUp is truly the best all-in-one platform for both project management and idea development. I deeply appreciate the development team for continuously evolving the product with such user-centric innovation. Thank you for this amazing tool — I’ll continue to be a passionate supporter of ClickUp!

Hello ClickUp Team, I use ClickUp’s Mind Map feature daily to organize project structures and brainstorm ideas. There’s one feature I would love to see implemented. I’d like to have the ability to group multiple nodes together and connect different nodes with arrows to visually represent their relationships. For example, during a planning phase, I might create nodes such as “Customer Needs,” “Competitor Analysis,” and “Idea Concepts.” I’d love to enclose them as a “Research Group” and then draw an arrow from “Idea Concepts” to “Development Roadmap” to indicate a causal or dependency relationship. Currently, nodes can be positioned freely, but there’s no clear way to express these logical connections, making complex mind maps harder to understand as they grow. If grouping and relationship arrows were available, Mind Maps in ClickUp could evolve from a simple brainstorming tool into a powerful strategic visualization workspace. ClickUp is already an amazing platform that has greatly improved my daily productivity. I truly appreciate the development team for constantly evolving the product with the users in mind. Thank you for creating such a fantastic service — I’ll continue to support ClickUp with enthusiasm!

I want to build a task structure from a mind map. Unfortunately, only tasks are generated and no subtasks. This creates unnecessary additional work to adjust everything in the list view accordingly. Figure 1 shows the MindMap structure. Figure 2 shows what is happening now (without following the Mind Map structure). They are all tasks: Figure 3 shows what it should look like. Tasks and subtasks according to the “branch level” mind map and should therefore be recognized and created automatically.

I was in a test phase, but when it ended and I subscribed I didn't have a single view of the mind map

love the mindmap view. Would be great to add assignee and a due date to this view

Non-Linear Structure and Its Related Concepts Non-linear (or disruptive) narrative is a technique used in various forms of content (literature, cinema, video games, etc.) where events are presented outside their traditional chronological order. It is used to simulate human memory or for other artistic reasons, and can manifest as parallel plots, dreams or stories within the main story. Hypertext and Hypermedia Hypertext: It is a technology that organizes information into blocks of content (nodes) connected by links. By activating these links, information is retrieved. Nodes contain mostly text. It is based on the associative way in which the human mind processes information, allowing us to jump from one point to another. Hypermedia: It is a generalization of hypertext. In addition to text, hypermedia nodes can contain graphics, images, audio, animations, video, and executable code. The term comes from the combination of “hypertext” and “multimedia”. It allows non-linear “reading”, where users can intuitively navigate information following their interests, unlike the sequential reading of printed books. Parallel Text Parallel text is a strategy that involves the construction or reconstruction of a text on a specific topic or learning context. It emerges from the mobilization of ideas and learning experiences of each person. It is used to achieve learning objectives, acquire competencies and improve educational communication. Main characteristics of parallel text: Dialogical: It involves interaction with an author or a context. Strategic: Encourages autonomous learning and critical thinking. Flexible: It allows you to incorporate various resources such as images, diagrams, mind maps and audiovisual material. Contextual: Reflects an understanding of the context and lived experiences. Creative: It offers varied ways of expressing knowledge.

Nowadays, tasks frequently appear out of order in the mind map view. It would be extremely important to be able to properly order them, especially because they are a nice vizualiation that directors are fond of.
