    How to edit

    How to edit

    Finda is currently running in "edit mode", which allows you to produce a changed copy of the map. If you hit "export data", this copy will appear in a separate browser window, from where you can save it (via browser "Save as"), and move it where you like.

    To make changes to the copy in your browser:

    • Selecting a site lets you change its properties, in the property-edit pane that appears on the left of the map.
    • To add a new site, double-click on the map.
    • To delete a site, select it and hit the "delete" button. It isn't actually gone until you export (though the map marker turns ghostly), and can be restored by selecting it again, and hitting the button now marked "restore".
    • To export the altered data, once again, push the "Export Data" button
