⇄ Navigate in Diagram

The Navigate in Diagram menu is your interactive compass through complex knowledge networks. Since the InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder is designed for huge amounts of data, you constantly change your focus when exploring the mind map by making different nodes the new center (root item).

This menu records your exact path. Here you can trace your navigation steps, quickly return to previous points, or play your entire diagram as a fluid automatic slideshow.

📽️ Presentation Mode

This function is excellent for meetings, lectures, or your own learning. It transforms your infinite 3D network into an automated, guided tour. A click on Start Presentation in the menu initiates this mode.

Important note on controls: As soon as the presentation has been started, the actual side menu is hidden. Instead, a new toolbar appears at the top right of your screen, giving you full control over the sequence:

  • Previous / Next: With these arrow buttons, you can manually jump one step backward or forward through the presented nodes at any time.
  • Pause Presentation / Start Presentation: The system automatically scrolls through the branches in a pleasant rhythm. A click on "Pause Presentation" pauses this automatic advance so that you can dwell on a specific item in peace or explain something about it. The button then changes to "Start Presentation" – clicking on it resumes the automatic camera movement.
  • Read out items: A special highlight! Activates your system's text-to-speech function. The app then reads the item name and the corresponding description text of the currently presented nodes out loud to you.
  • Close Presentation: Stops the presentation mode, closes the upper toolbar, and returns you to the normal view including the main menu.

⬅️ Browse (Chronological History)

The app remembers in the background in strictly chronological order which nodes you have centered one after the other, similar to the browser history when surfing the internet.

  • Browse Back: Jumps exactly the path you took when clicking through the diagram, step by step backwards. This is extremely helpful if you have "gotten lost" in the depths of a large network and want to return to your logical starting point.
  • Browse Forward: If you have used the Browse Back function, you can use this button to travel the path in the opposite direction (forward) again.

🕒 Last Viewed (Quick Access)

While "Browse" lets you repeat every step strictly chronologically, this section is for large, direct jumps.

  • Last Viewed (Drop-down list): Clicking on this field opens a drop-down menu with a list of the items you have viewed as root items in your current session. Simply select an entry here (e.g., a main chapter) to immediately jump back to this node without tedious clicking back and make it the new center of your view.
