Add Content to a Folder

Starting from the Map

Step 1: Tap on any map markup and choose “Add to Folder.”

Step 2: A dialogue will appear allowing you to choose any additional markups you’d like to add to a folder. Tap individual items on the map or tap the three dots and select “Select all content in map view” to bulk select everything visible.

Once you tap “Next,” you’ll have the choice to share via text or email.

Step 3: On the Manage Access screen, you’ll see a list of everyone who has access to your Collaborative Folder. From this screen, you have several ways to review and edit user permissions, as outlined below.

Remove Everyone’s Access: Tapping the three dots in the upper right corner allows you to remove permissions for everyone with whom you’ve shared the folder in a single tap.

Change Individual Permissions: Tapping the pencil icon next to a specific user allows you to edit their permission level (view-only vs. contributor) or remove their access to the folder entirely.

Need help deciding on permission levels?
Viewers cannot make any changes to Collaborative Folder content.

Contributors can add content to Collaborative Folders; they cannot delete any content you or others create, nor can they remove any content from the Collaborative Folder that they didn’t personally create.

Neither Viewers nor Contributors can share your Collaborative Folder or any of the individual markups contained within.

You can also share the folder with additional people via the Manage Access screen by tapping “Add Member.”
