About these formats

Quality & what to watch

  • The OPML export captures only text and nesting structure - styling, colors, branch shapes, images, attachments, labels, and notes are not carried over.
  • Cross-links (relationships between non-adjacent topics) are not representable in OPML, which has no concept of arbitrary connections.
  • XMind mobile apps do not include an OPML export option; copy the file to a desktop machine first.
