Migrate your MindGenius data

Mind Maps are the primary object. Each map is a root node with hierarchical branches. We traverse the tree recursively and export each node as a JSON object with parentId, label, colour, icon, and notes. On import, we reconstruct the tree using parentId references. Flattened exports to OPML or CSV are supported but lose spatial layout metadata.

Branches are the node objects within a Mind Map. They support text labels, rich notes, priority markers, start/due dates, and resource attachments. We preserve all standard branch properties. Custom branch-level fields are supported as key-value metadata. Branch reordering is preserved as a display-order integer on each node.

MindGenius Taskboard converts map branches into Kanban-style task cards with status, assignee, and due date. We export each task card as a standalone task object and maintain the link back to its originating branch node. Status columns (To Do, In Progress, Done) are preserved as a custom field on the task record.

Timeline view renders branches with date ranges as Gantt bars. We export each Timeline item as a task with start_date, due_date, and percent_complete. Milestones (zero-duration markers) are exported as tasks with a milestone flag. Dependencies between timeline items are preserved as predecessor/successor references in the export.

A MindGenius Project is a container that holds one or more Mind Maps, Taskboards, and Timelines. We export the project-level metadata (name, description, created date, owner) and then recursively export all child maps and views. On import, we create the project first and then populate its views.

MindGenius allows resource attachments on branches (PDF, images, Office documents). We extract the file name and reference URL from the export. Direct binary export of attachments is not supported by the file-based export pipeline; we flag these for manual re-upload at the destination and provide a manifest list.

Assignees on tasks are referenced by email or display name. On export, we preserve the assignee identifier. On import to a destination with a different user directory, we attempt email matching and flag any unresolved assignees for manual reassignment.

MindGenius Subscription tier includes Guest Access. Guest users have read-only or limited permissions on a project. We export guest email and permission level. Permissions do not map cleanly to most destination systems and are flagged for manual review.

MindGenius supports custom fields on branches and tasks. We export them as key-value properties on the node or task object. Mapping to destination custom fields requires field-level configuration during the scoping call. We do not auto-create custom fields in the destination.
