Standard vs Advanced editor

Every map has two editing modes. Standard is a clean spreadsheet of your locations — no map to fiddle with — perfect for team members who just need to keep names, descriptions and details current. Advanced is the full editor where you build the map itself. You decide which your team members get.

The two modes

1. Standard — a simple spreadsheet

   A friendly table of your locations: Name, plus whichever details you choose to show (description, category, images and more). There's no map to pan, zoom or place pins on — team members just type into the cells and save. It's the easiest way to keep content accurate.

2. Advanced — the full editor

   The complete toolset: upload level images, place and style landmarks on the map, build categories, set wayfinding, branding and everything else. This is where a map is first created and laid out.

Give team members the simpler view

By default everyone can switch freely between Standard and Advanced. As a team admin you can lock your team members to the Standard spreadsheet so they get a focused, hard-to-break editing area. Team admins always keep both modes.

1. Open Team Settings

   Sign in, click the menu (top-right), and choose Team Settings.

   Only team admins can open Team Settings.

2. Find the Team editor section

   Expand Team editor.

3. Lock members to Standard

   Tick Force the Standard editor for team members (not team admins) and click Save. Leave it unticked to let everyone choose either mode.

Choose what the spreadsheet shows

The Standard spreadsheet's columns are set per map, in that map's Advanced editor. Name is always the first column; you add the rest. Members locked to Standard only ever see the fields you pick here.

1. Open the map in the Advanced editor

   From your dashboard, open a map and switch to Advanced.

2. Open the Standard-editor column settings

   In the editor's side panel, find the Standard editor (simple-fields) settings and tick the columns to show.
