I understand that Rationale depends on most arguments being tree-shaped, in order to do layout quickly and attractively.

However, in reality once a statement is established, it is entirely possible to use it more than once - that is, there are arguments that are directed acyclic graphs, but not trees.

Is there a standard way to work around the tree default?

One way to work around the tree default is simply to use copy and paste to duplicate nodes, even entire subtrees.

For example:

Hi @Johnicholas,

In Rationale you construct an argument- or reconstruct an argument out of a given text - in a pyramidal form. Each reason is - in the eye of the reason giver - a piece of evidence in support of the claim immediately above it, and only for that claim. There is no workaround here in such a way that you can visually connect one and the same claim to two or more claims in different branches. A solution is, indeed, by copy&paste the claim.

Hi, Can somebody tell me how to create a folder? I have a lot of files and can't organize them in folders. I appreciate your help. A

In your My maps: type a name for a folder in the box: 'add folder' above at the right at give an Enter.

Btw: please start a new thread when you have a message that is not related to an existing thread.
