About Map Editor

Writers have access to a Map Editor that integrates IXIASOFT CCMS Web with Oxygen Web Author, which is a web-based editor.

For writers, Map Editor has an Oxygen Web Author toolbar, so they have more options for editing maps than contributors.

The following are some of the actions writers can take with the advanced Map Editor:

  • Add comments to a map
  • Create new topics and add them
  • Promote and demote topics
  • Search for and add existing topics
  • Track changes on a map
