Dashboard & Workspaces
Your dashboard is the home base for finding, organizing, and creating mind maps. This guide covers navigation, workspaces, search, folders, and map management.
Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It shows:
- A create surface at the top for starting new maps (AI prompt, blank map, or templates).
- A Continue Working section with your recent maps.
- Map cards showing each map's title, node count, and last-updated time.
- A grid/list view toggle to switch between card layouts (available on both desktop and mobile).
- Pagination at the bottom when you have many maps.
Personal & Organization Workspaces
StitchGraph organizes your maps into workspaces. The workspace switcher in the top navigation lets you move between them.
- Personal workspace — your private space. Maps here are only visible to you (unless you share them via a link).
- Organization workspaces — shared spaces where all org members can see organization-scoped maps. Each organization you belong to appears in the switcher.
To switch workspaces, click the workspace switcher and select a workspace. The dashboard updates to show only the maps in that workspace.
For details on creating and managing organizations, see the Organizations guide.
Searching & Sorting Maps
Use the toolbar at the top of the map library to find and sort your maps.
Search:
Type in the search bar to filter maps by title in real time. The map list updates as you type.
Sort:
Click the sort dropdown to reorder your maps. The available sort options are:
- Last Modified — most recently edited first (default).
- Date Created — newest maps first.
- Name — alphabetical order.
Tag filter:
Click the Filters button to open a tag filter panel. It shows a checkbox list of all tags used across your maps, with counts next to each tag. Select one or more tags to narrow the map list. Click Clear to reset the filter.
Map Cards & Actions
Each map appears as a card showing its title, node count, and when it was last updated.
Favorite:
Click the star icon on a map card to toggle it as a favorite.
Actions menu:
Click the ··· button on a map card to open the actions menu. Available actions include:
- Favorite / Unfavorite
- Change Icon
- Edit Tags
- Rename
- Move to folder
- Duplicate
- Save as template
- Delete
To open a map, click its card directly.
View toggle:
Switch between grid and list view using the toggle in the toolbar (desktop) or the sticky bar (mobile).
Organizing with Folders
Folders let you group related maps together on the dashboard. Click New Folder in the toolbar to create one, then drag maps onto it or use the ··· menu → Move to folder.
For the full guide — including sub-folders, permissions, and deleting folders — see Folders & Templates.
Creating Maps from the Dashboard
The dashboard offers three ways to create a new map:
- AI generation — type a description and click Generate.
- Blank map — click Start blank.
- Template — click Templates and pick a built-in or custom template.
The dashboard adapts to your usage: new users see a prominent hero area with the AI prompt, while returning users see a compact bar so the map library takes priority.
