Creating Visual Sitemaps

You can use the following shortcuts to navigate and work faster:

• ← / ↑ / ↓ / → — navigate around the map
• Ctrl / ⌘ + H — jump to homepage
• Ctrl / ⌘ + + / - — zoom in / out
• Ctrl / ⌘ + Z — undo last action
• Ctrl / ⌘ + Y — redo last action

Yes, the Visual Sitemap Editor supports multi-selection for bulk actions:

• Ctrl / ⌘ + drag — select multiple nodes using a selection box
• Shift + drag — expand the selection area
• Ctrl / ⌘ + click — select individual nodes one by one

Additional controls:

• Delete — remove selected nodes
• Esc — cancel selection

Multi-selection allows you to apply bulk actions such as color fill and wireframe assignment.

You can control how your sitemap is displayed using Structure and Layout Settings:

• Full Tree — shows the complete hierarchical structure of the sitemap in a standard tree layout
• Compact Mode — displays branches vertically (like table columns instead of horizontal branches), making it easier to view large sitemaps with long structures

Yes, you can quickly switch between display modes:

• Cards — shows full node content with configurable elements
• Tiles — displays only node titles for a simplified overview

In Card mode, you can control which elements are shown inside each node:

• Assigned wireframes
• Meta tags (titles, descriptions, Open Graph images)
• Additional text blocks

This allows you to adjust the level of detail displayed depending on your workflow and needs.

You can export your visual sitemap in multiple formats depending on your needs:

• PNG — layout thumbnail export (HD, Full HD, 4K)
• CSV — structured data export with selectable columns
• SVG — scalable vector format with layout options (Full cards / Tiles only) and branch length control (Full / Limit long branches)
• PDF — overview document with a full page list (A4/A3, portrait or landscape)

Note: Export features are available in the Workspace.

The Sandbox and Workspace serve different purposes depending on how you plan to use visual sitemaps.

Sandbox

A free, no-registration environment for quick generation and testing.

• Projects are available for 14 days only
• Changes are saved locally and visible only to you
• Shared presentations show only the initial version (later edits are not included)
• Export is not available

Workspace

A full-featured environment for ongoing work and project management.

• Permanent project storage
• Changes can be saved globally and are instantly reflected in shared presentations
• Export to all available formats
• Higher import and crawl limits with advanced settings

Summary

• Use Sandbox for quick testing and exploration
• Use Workspace for saving, sharing, exporting, and long-term work
