What is the difference between “smap” and “SMAP™”?
A “smap” is a dynamic, interactive systems map based on our universal language to describe and communicate systems, whereas “SMAP” is the name of the software used to create and navigate smaps.

How is SMAP different from other graphic software?
SMAP transforms confusion into clarity by turning any subject into a dynamic, contextual, interactive, and integrated visual system, known as a smap. You can create smaps yourself or partner with AI to do it faster, then navigate and investigate your own perspectives and those of others.

How do I learn to build smaps?
The first time you access your account, an onboarding guide explains the core skills required to become a proficient smapper. This guide is also available from the toolbar's HELP menu, as well as video tutorials.

Do I own the smaps I create?
Absolutely, you retain full ownership of all your smaps. You may also transfer ownership of any smap to another party at any time.

Is there a limit to the number of smaps I can create?
No. You can create an unlimited number of smaps and even interconnect them into networks of systems knowledge, from a bird's-eye view down to the most detailed aspects of a system.

Can I share my smaps?
Yes, you can share any smap privately with others to collaborate in context. Each party can be assigned a specific role such as manager, editor, commenter, or simply viewer. When you are ready, you can expand your audience by embedding the smap in your website.
