Expand Collapsed Mind Map Nodes

Some of the mind map nodes are collapsed to prevent the mindmaps being too crowded. If you wish to expand a node, simply click the circle with a dot inside after the node you want to expand, or press the space bar once that node is selected. You can also do the same with an already expanded node to collapse it. The node connecting circles will contain a dot if there is more to expand and will be empty if already expanded.
