Need to improve the export of mindmaps

Miro mind maps need to be able to be exported to Microsoft project and other Microsoft applications like word and PowerPoint. I use mind maps (xmind) to start my project planning, my presentation planning, etc, then export everything into the Microsoft application and fill in the blanks, add dates etc. Unfortunately, although I love much about Miro, the lack of usable export prevents me from loving Miro mind maps — and prevents me from using it. until Miro mind maps have more of the features that are “table stakes” for other mind mapping tools, I just can’t switch.

It would be great to export a mindmap with its structure to, for example, MS Word.

When the mindmap and the layers can be exported into Word, you would get a document with Headers, topics, paragraphs etc.

I use the mindmap to work on Business Information Plans. Creating the main topics and depencies. Visualized to help the business understand. Once ready, an export to Word would give a base document with the structure already in the headings. All you have to do next is write down the final details.

There’s an extension that allows to do that: https://miro.com/marketplace/mindmapdownloader/?backUrl=%2Fmarketplace%2F

 

Also, a long discussion : https://community.miro.com/ideas/export-mind-map-as-hierarchy-in-csv-1343

@Bertrand Gorge Thank you for pointing that out, I already have that extension. Unfortunatetly it is not quit the same. CSV will give you a table l ike outcome in a spreadsheet solution.
I am looking for a text processing solution, where the layers of the MindMap will transform into Chapters, sections/paragraph, headings etc. Exactly as the screenprint shows.
This way one has a document/report structure from a mindmap, and one can write out the details per subject.
