# Managing maps
When managing Builder maps, you have two primary pathways: directly through the Builder interface or via the map card in the Maps section of your workspace.
Within these options, users may encounter two distinct actions, which may be available or restricted based on their assigned roles: [duplicating maps](#duplicating-maps) and [deleting maps.](#deleting-maps)
### Duplicating maps
To duplicate an existing map from the Workspace:
1. Navigate to the "Maps" section.
2. Click on the three-dotted menu in the map card.
3. Select "Duplicate Map".
To duplicate an existing map from the Builder interface:
1. Ensure your map has a title.
2. Click on the three dots.
3. Select "Duplicate Map".
#### **Current limitations when duplicating maps**
If you click on the Duplicate map option, a dialog will appear warning you if any of the sources is not shared with you (eg: a private connection). Click on *Yes, continue anyway* button to confirm or click Cancel if you don’t want the map to be duplicated.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that if you duplicate a map with sources that are not shared with you, the private sources will load with errors and the corresponding layers will not be visible, leaving you the choice of fully removing them or asking for access. This ensures security across data sources, even when making editable map copies between users.
{% endhint %}
### Deleting maps
To delete a map from the Workspace:
1. Click on the three-dotted menu in the map card.
2. Select "Delete Map".
3. Confirm that you want to delete the selected map.
To delete a map from the Builder interface:
1. Click on the three-dotted menu in the top right of Builder.
2. Select the "Delete" quick action.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the selected map.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that if you delete a map that is **shared** (Organization or Public Map), other users will lose access to it and the public version of the map will become unavailable.
{% endhint %}
### Tagging maps
Editors can tag maps from the Workspace by editing their properties:
1. Click on the three dotted-button in the map card.
2. Select "Edit map properties".
3. Create, apply or remove existing tags in the tag input.
Creating and applying a new tag
Additionally, you will be able to filter maps by tags using the tag filter in the workspace. Once a tag filter is applied, you will be able to copy the URL and share it with other users within your organization.
Tags are automatically deleted when they are no longer applied to any map or workflow.
