The Edit Tab

Click on the Edit tab to add new structure features, edit existing structure features, and remove obsolete structure points. Structure points are represented by icons with colored borders on the map.

 

 

 

 

 

Clicking on a point in the map will open a window displaying information about that feature. Use this window to enter missing information about a feature or update the information that is already there.

 

       

 

 

You can also add comments in the comment field if you'd like to list the sources you used to research your edits, list reasons for why you created or deleted a point, or note other information you think might be useful to someone reviewing your edits.

IMPORTANT:

 

Once you save an edit, the "Cancel" button will NOT work. After saving,

you will need to click on a point again to edit.

 

Before deleting a point, zoom out to be sure the point is not just in the

wrong location.

 

For more information on deleting features , see the section on How to Remove a Feature.

Whatever your role, if you come across a point you are certain is incorrect, you are encouraged to update the point regardless of edit status.
