Manage
Versions
The KontextMaps Editor creates two versions of the map* that you create on the drawing surface: a preview map and a live map. You can always check the current editing status in the preview version of the map. With the version management you can decide for yourself when you want to transfer all adjustments to your live map.
If a star appears next to the version management icon, this indicates that changes have been made to the map that have not yet been transferred to the live map.
If you select the version management, a window opens in which you can reset the map in progress or synchronise it with the live version. For both versions there is a button to display them.
Map in progress
In this area you manage the current preview version of your map.
(1) A short description shows you when the last changes were made.
(2) By clicking on the button "Show map in progress" you can open the preview and see the current processing status of the map. All changes you make in the editor are immediately shown in the preview map. With this view you can check how your live map will look.
(3) As soon as you have created a live version, the function "Reset map in editing" is available. This allows you to discard changes to your map and restore it to the status of the last live version.
* Note that the reset is irrevocable and all changes made since the last synchronisation to the live map will be deleted.
(4) If all adjustments are to your liking, you can synchronise the current state of the map in progress to a live map. If you click on the button, the live version is created or updated and the information in the "Live version" area is adjusted accordingly.
Live version
In this section of the version management you can see the latest information about your live map.
(1) A short description tells you whether there have been any changes since the last synchronisation and when the last synchronisation took place.
(2) Click on the button "Show live version" to open the current version of your live map in a new browser tab.
