About the Inspiration Views

Inspiration has three views or environments: Diagram View, Map View and Outline View. As you work in a diagram or mind map, changes will be automatically reflected in the integrated outline. Sometimes you will work exclusively in Diagram View or Map View to create a graphic organizer or a map showing how ideas or concepts relate. Other times you will work in Outline View where you might organize and write a report.
