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.

Adding a Map

To add a map:

1. In the sidebar, select the Layers Tab
2. Click Add
3. Click Map Library

4. Use the free text search bar and/or the layer filters to locate the desired layer(s)

The following filters are available:

• All – All layers that you have find permission for
• My Content – Layers that you are the owner of
• Organisation's Content – Layers owned by other members of your organisation

5. Select one or more Maps
6. Click Add Selected

Modifying a Map

The content of a Map can be viewed but is initially read-only. To modify a map, it must be converted to a group.

To convert a Map to a group:

1. Right-click on the Map
2. Click Convert to group
