Editor Sidebar & More Actions
The left vertical sidebar is your central command rail. In addition to switching between View, Build, Library, Media, Translate, Customize, and Analytics, the More (…) menu provides vital data transfer and administrative utilities:
Downloads a complete portable JSON backup (.layerpin.json) containing all pins, shapes, categories, translations, and styles.
Exports all pin coordinates, descriptions, tags, and custom fields into a structured spreadsheet for editing or external databases.
Upload CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or Apple Numbers (.numbers) sheets with interactive validation and Append / Replace modes.
Clone your entire map in the Dashboard (... → Duplicate map) including image tiles, pins, shapes, and custom fields into a private draft.
The bottom cloud icon displays real-time saving status: Saved (cloud check), Saving (spinner), or Save (pending draft). The Publish button instantly deploys changes to the global edge CDN or toggles an existing public map back to private.
Quickly toggle Hide all items from the More menu to view your clean base image underneath without deleting any annotations. Click again or use ⌥I to restore all markers and shapes.
