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 and 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.

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.

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.

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.
