Printed documents?
The app works with PDFs and ePUB format.

To be clear, I understood that. I was just wondering if there are ways people have found to use printed documents… i.e. photo scanning a page or something like that.

MarginNote 3 does not have a “capture with camera” feature. I was curious about how to do what you were looking for, Steve, and found it extremely cumbersome to get an scanned imaged into MarginNote without first using other apps to turn the image into a PDF. I think the short answer, Steve, is “not easily”.

This is another one of those apps that seems like it would be perfect for me, but which I actually can’t use at all. My ideal would be one that didn’t try to do mindmapping but just generated a simple Workflowy-style outline. There is a view which works kind of like this, but in the end it is just easier for me to use PDF Expert and export my notes to Dynalist and process them there…

Looks like MarginNote 3 for macOS will soon be available. This week there was an update to MN 2 for macOS on the Mac AppStore, whose sole purpose was to enable in-app upgrades to MN 3. I use MN 3 on iOS regularly and enjoy the ability to create a notebook of highlights and notes across a set of multiple PDFs. The mindmap view of notes and highlights is very useful. The product is still a work in progress I think, but it’s evolving nicely.
