What is an outline layout?

An outline layout presents the same ideas as a nested, indented list rather than a spatial diagram. Top-level branches become headings, and their sub-points sit indented beneath them, so the structure reads linearly from top to bottom. It is useful when you want to scan or review a map as text.

  • Displays branches as nested, indented text levels.
  • Top branches act as headings; sub-points are indented beneath.
  • Reads linearly, top to bottom, like a structured list.
  • Good for quickly scanning or reviewing a map's content.
  • One of Overscope's six selectable map layouts.

How Overscope relates

Outline is one of Overscope's six layouts for viewing a map. The same set of nodes you create by speaking can be flipped into an indented list, which is handy for reviewing a structure quickly, though Overscope still treats it as a map view rather than a document export.
