How to edit maps

Maps provide structure to documents, so editing a map is how you can change the structure of a document.

You can use Map Editor for all editing that you want to do to maps, such as:

  • Add or remove existing topics
  • Change the order that topics appear in
  • Create new topics and add them
  • Edit the title of the map

Writers have access to the default Map Editor and a Lite Map Editor. You can freely switch between the two.
