Focus Mode in Mind Maps

When working on detailed projects or canvas, it’s important to concentrate on specific areas without distraction. The Focus Mode feature allows you to isolate a particular topic and its branches, hiding everything else to maintain clarity and streamline your workflow.

There are 2 types of Focus Mode on Edraw.AI: Focus and Theme Focus. Here’s how to access them using 2 methods:

Method 1: How To Enter Focus Mode

Focus Mode allows you to see the whole diagram without the editing panels for a clean look. Follow the steps:

❶ Step 1: Press F11 on your keyboard to enter Focus Mode. You can still use the search function located at the top-right.

Method 2: How To Use Theme Focus Mode

Focusing on a specific topic lets you temporarily hide other content and zero in on what matters most:

❶ Step 1: Select the topic or branch you want to focus on. Right-click the topic and choose Theme focus from the context menu.

❷ Step 2: This action will hide all unrelated content, leaving only the selected topic and its branches visible. Alternatively, press F8 on your keyboard as a shortcut.

How To Exit Theme Focus Mode

Once you’re finished working in focus mode, you can easily return to the full view of your project. In the toolbar, click the Exit (Esc) button. This action will restore the visibility of the entire canvas, allowing you to see all topics and branches again.
