Situation:
"02_00_map.mmap" - the central map
"02_01_map.mmap" - single card
"02_01_map.mmap" is embedded in "02_00_map.mmap"
If I am "02_00_map.mmap" and make changes to the "02_01_map.mmap" map, the changes are not displayed in the "02_01_map.mmap" map.
I need to go to the card "02_01_map.mmap" and make changes there.

Question.
How do I make changes that are made to the map "02_01_map.mmap" from the map "02_00_map.mmap" appear in the map "02_00_map.mmap"?

If I understand you correctly, you have Map 1 and Map 2.
In Map 1 you have inserted a Map Roll-up link to Map 2.
If your question is "can I make any changes I make to Map 2 appear in the Roll-up link in Map 1?" the answer is yes but this is not automatic. You have to refresh the link to Map 2 by right clicking on the Map Roll-up icon in Map 1 and selecting Refresh Map Roll-up from the menu. Any changes you made and saved in Map 2 should then appear in Map 1.
If your question is "can I make changes to Map 2 by editing the Map Roll-up in Map 1?" the answer is no. Map Roll-ups are a one-way link only. When it is refreshed a Map Roll-up will display any changes made in the source map but changes made to the Map Roll-up will not change the source map.
You're right
I meant OPTION 2.
Question
There are other ways to perform the following functions:
- that I could insert "map 2" in "map 1";
- when I am in "map 1", I can collapse and expand "map 2" (or see the structure of "map 2");
- when I am in "map 1", it was possible to make changes to "map 2" and they were displayed in "map 2";

If Alex is correct, there is an excellent solution for your purpose inside the MAP-addin from Olympic-limited
Another Addin with even more options is Topic Tracker addin, the benefit is that you can tell what the source is and where the results should be shown.

Yes - I missed the video link on the original post. It seems from that Ivan wants to use the second approach. Topic Tracker might be the best bet for this.
I will repeat.

"Topic Tracker" I'm still studying.
But I think I prefer "MutiMaps".

Question.
Is there anything similar and free?
Or is it possible to do something like this with the help of Maksroso?
Or a macro is difficult?

Hi Ivan,
In answer to your question, when I am in "map 1", it was possible to make changes to "map 2" and they were displayed in "map 2", as you have discovered, you can't do this directly with Map Roll-up.
As indicated earlier you will need either an add-in like Multi-Maps or, possibly, a macro but there might be a simpler (and cheaper) way to simulate this. I suggest you try this:
- Set up the Map Roll-up of Map 2 within Map 1;
- Go to Map 2 and create a link from the Central Topic to the rolled-up topic in Map 1;
- Now when you are in Map 1 and you want to change the structure of Map 2, click on the link icon on the right of the Map 2 rolled-up topic. This will take you to MAP 2;
- After you have finished editing Map 2, click on the link icon to go back to the rolled-up topic in Map 1;
- Right click on the Map Roll-up icon and select Refresh Map Roll-up to see the changes you made in Map 2 reflected in Map 1.
I've only tried this briefly but it seems to work. I would suggest trialling it on a small map before using it for anything major and I would try to avoid anything too complex like creating multiple loops.

To embed the map, I used the command - see figure
Did I understand your question correctly?
