Forking a Map¶
Forking creates a new map that starts with the same configuration (layers, viewport, styling, and overrides) as an existing map. It is useful for creating regional variants or styled copies of an existing map.
How to fork¶
- Navigate to Libraries → Maps → Create New Map or go to
/map/new - Toggle Fork Existing Map on
- Select the Map Name to fork from
- Select the Version to use as the starting point
- Give your new map a name
- Click Create Map
The new map starts with the same configuration and overrides as the selected version. It gets a new mapId and starts at version 1.
What is copied¶
| Copied | Not copied |
|---|---|
| Layer configuration (datasets, colors, widths) | The mapId |
| Viewport (center, zoom) | Version history |
| Overrides (per-node/edge customizations) | public flag (new map starts private) |
| Tileset configuration |
After forking¶
The Map Editor opens on the new map. You can change any layer, override, or viewport setting without affecting the source map.
