Create a draft of a published map
Editing a published venue starts with a draft — a private working copy of the live map where you stage changes before they go live. Your visitors keep seeing the published version until you publish the draft.
Steps
- On your dashboard, find the published venue’s card. It shows a status badge such as Published.
- Click Create Draft — the button in the card’s bottom-right corner.
- The button shows Creating… while the draft is seeded from the live venue’s current data.
- When it finishes, a Draft badge appears on the card and the button changes to Edit Draft.
- Click Edit Draft to open the editor on the draft.
Notes
- Creating a draft does not open the editor automatically. It prepares the draft first; click Edit Draft to open it.
- The draft starts as a copy of the live venue’s current state. The published map your visitors see is unchanged while you edit.
- A published venue has one draft at a time. Once a draft exists, the card shows Edit Draft instead of Create Draft.
- To discard the draft, click Delete Draft (the trash button on the card). This resets the venue to its live, published version and cannot be undone.
Publish impact
Changes you make in the draft stay in the draft until you publish. In the editor, click the green Publish button in the header to review the pending changes and write them back to the live venue. Until you publish, the published map is unchanged. Deleting the draft discards every unpublished change.
