Map Library

Overview

The Map Library enables you to bring other maps into the current map. Once added, there are two ways to use the included map content:

  1. Leaving the map as a read-only reference, which brings the latest copy of the original map into the current map every time it is loaded. This enables you to keep its content up-to-date.

  2. Converting the map to a group, which copies in the underlying Layers and Datasets individually, enabling you to make styling and other changes to them within your map. Note that once converted to a group, the map will no longer receive updated changes made to it by the original author.
