# How to use MindFlow

To create nodes in the MindFlow app, you need to interact with the interface to add, modify, and connect nodes. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can interact with the app to create a mind map:

Adding a New Node

• Click on the plus icon (+) in the sidebar to add a new node.
• A prompt will appear asking for the node name. Enter a descriptive label for the node and press OK.

Positioning Node

• Nodes are added at random positions initially.
• Drag nodes to reposition them on the canvas to organize your mind map.

Editing Node Labels

• Double-click on any node to edit its label.
• A prompt will appear allowing you to enter a new label. Press OK to apply the changes.

Connecting Nodes

• To connect nodes, click and drag from the handle at the bottom of one node to the handle at the top of another node.
• Release the mouse to create a connection between the nodes.

Changing Background

• Use the icons in the sidebar to change the visual layout of the mind map. Options include grids, lines, and dots.

Saving and Loading

• MindFlow automatically saves your mind map locally using browser storage.
• Your mind map will be loaded automatically when you revisit the app.

Zoom and Pan

• Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the mind map.
• Click and drag on the canvas to pan and navigate the mind map.
