Click on Ok. I will leave it as is and click on the OK button.
Hover mouse next to notes icon on Moon node. Notice an icon of paper and pencil appears next to the Moon node.
Hover mouse on Moon node to show notes tooptip. Hover the cursor over the node, to see the note as tooltip.
Cursor next to Sun node. Next, add icons to the Sun node.
Click on the left side arrow to open icons toolbar.

Click to show View, Controls, Icons toolbar.

Click on the arrow seen on the middle left side, to open the icons toolbar.

You may also click on view, controls and check the box for Icons toolbar.

Cursor on Sun node. I had hyperlinked an mp3 audio file to the node.

Learner may pause the video, and click on the node to play it.

Cursor on the node. I want to add a sound speaker icon to it from the icons list.
Select the Sun node. Select the Sun node.
Scroll down the icons menu. Scroll down the icons toolbar.

The icon will help to identify the link as an audio file, without clicking on it.

Show speaker icon and click on it. Locate the speaker icon.

Click on it to insert it on the selected node.

Cursor next to speaker icon on Sun node. The icon appears on the Sun node.
Cursor on the interface. Next, let's explore the join or merge node option.
Select Teaching aids node. Select the teaching aids node and notice the three child nodes on it.


Hover cursor over force, velocity and acceleration. They are force, velocity and acceleration.

The teacher wants the three concepts together on one node.

Select the three child nodes, force, velocity and acceleration. To merge or join the three nodes, first select all the three child nodes.
Press Ctrl+J and show the merged nodes. Then press Control-J to join the nodes.

Notice the three child nodes are merged or joined as one child node.

Notice that, each node is in a different line.

Click on Edit, Node core, Join nodes with “\n” . The menu alternate is found under Edit, Node core.

There are many options here.

Click on Edit, Node core, Join nodes with “\n” . Control J merges the node contents with a newline between each of them.
Show options in Edit, Node core options. The nodes can also be merged with a space or comma, separation.
Show options in Edit, Node core, split options Notice that, we can also split a long node name, into different nodes.

There are many options seen here, to split the node.

Cursor on the Edit, Node core, split options. Learner may pause the video and practice the join and split options.
Cursor next to January node. Next, let's import a directory structure to the January node.
Show screenshot of class-files directory on Desktop. I want to import the class-files directory from Desktop.
Select January node. First, select the January node.
Click on File, Import, Folder structure. Click on File, Import and Folder structure.

Select the folder to import dialog box opens, prompting the user to choose the folder.

Choose the class-files folder and click on open. Choose the class-files folder in the Desktop directory and click on open.
Unfold class node. Let's unfold the January node.
Hover mouse over added child node. Notice, the files in the directory are hyperlinked to the node.
Cursor on the map. We can also add another concept map to our existing map.
Show the import-map.mm file icon. I will demonstrate it next.

I have a map named import-map dot mm, located in the Desktop.

Cursor on the map. This map can be imported in different ways.
Cursor on the map. Each method gives a slightly different look from the other.
Cursor on February node. I want to attach it to the February node.
Select February node. So, first select February node.
Right click to open the context menu. Select the node and right-click to open the context menu.
