Duplicating Trees

Trees may be duplicated. Branches and Leaves may be Cut, Copied or Pasted, within the same Tree, or to different Trees, using menu options. Branches and Leaves may also be moved via a simple Drag and Drop process.

To Duplicate a Tree:

1. The main BrainForest Tree List screen must be displayed to duplicate a Tree. If you are currently viewing Branches or Leaves, tap the Done button.

2. Tap the Tree to be duplicated.

3. Choose Duplicate Tree from the Tree menu.

The duplicated Tree will appear in the list of Trees, named "Copy of (Tree name)".

Changing a Tree's Name

To change a Tree's name:

1. If not selected, tap the Tree.

2. Tap the Details button to edit the name.

3. When finished, tap the OK button.

Drag & Drop

Drag and Drop is an easy way to move Branches or Leaves. This enables you to randomly enter action items, checklist items, or ideas, and then organize them at a convenient moment.

There's no need to tap (or select) the Branch or Leaf before a drag and drop. Using the stylus, move the Branch/Leaf to its new location, by dragging "on top of" the destination Branch or Leaf to add it to that level, or by dragging to the desired insertion indicator line.

To perform a Drag and Drop:

1. Hold down the stylus on the Branch/Leaf to be relocated.

2. Without lifting the stylus, drag it to the new location.

3. Lift the stylus when it is positioned in the new location.

The desired Branch/Leaf will be relocated.

For example:



Note: A Branch may be dragged and dropped into a Leaf. A Leaf may be dragged and dropped into a Branch.

Note: If you drag and drop a Branch, all its Leaves are dragged, too.

Cut, Copy and Paste

Moving Branches and Leaves where you want them is simple. All the commands you need are located in the Edit menu. For an alternative, see Drag and Drop.

1. Tap any Branch or Leaf to select it

2. Choose the Cut (or Copy) command from the Edit menu.

Note: Though the Edit menu indicates "Cut, Copy, Paste" Branch, the commands work fine for individual Leaves.

3. Tap the Branch or Leaf located above where you want the Branch or Leaf to be inserted.

4. Choose the Paste command from the Edit menu.

Note: A Branch may be copied and pasted into a Leaf. A Leaf may be copied and pasted into a Branch. Either may be copied and pasted into a different Tree.

Note: When you copy a Branch, all its Leaves are copied, too.
