Frequently asked questions

An OzMap is one saved learning map: a seed topic (and optional interest chips) that grows into a branching graph of related ideas. You explore it in a lane-style canvas, focus nodes to see detail, and your map state persists between visits.

Explore is the interactive graph: pan, zoom, open topics, and request suggested next steps along branches. Read is a linear, book-like walkthrough of the same map—slides in spine order—when you want narrative flow instead of free navigation.

In Explore, Full Map shows every node you have revealed on the map. Path only narrows the canvas to nodes on your current learning path (the branch you are following), so the view stays focused. Switch back to Full Map anytime.

Path bookmarks save the node you are currently focused on as a named bookmark in the left sidebar. Open a bookmark to jump back to that point on the map. They are per-map and tied to your account.

Maps, nodes, bookmarks, and related content are stored on OzMap’s servers with your signed-in account so you can reopen them from the dashboard. Do not put highly sensitive personal data in topics or notes you would not store in a typical cloud app.

Read can include multiple-choice trivia tied to topics you have opened, depending on your map. You can export a PDF of the read experience (including a question bank appendix when trivia exists) from the Read toolbar when that action is available.

From the dashboard, create a new OzMap, enter a seed topic, optionally pick up to five interest chips, then start the map. OzMap seeds the graph from there; you continue by exploring branches and optional AI-suggested next steps.

This FAQ is short answers to common questions. The Help page walks through the editor layout—sidebar, Explore vs Read, path controls, bookmarks, and Read export—in more detail.
