Submitting Changes

Once you are done with editing the database. You will press [Upload]. This will open up the uploading screen.

Remember the upload button appears only when you have made edits.

  • Here you add the source or information you used to create your information whether that be the aerial imagery you used, surveying the area, or from authoritative sources. (Allowed sources)
• Changes
  • Here you can see the changes that you made to the database.
    • Edit
      • This displays the XML text where you are able to fix your changeset when you’re having problems uploading your changes.
    • Export
      • This allows you to share your changeset to other people when you are not able to fix your changeset.

Once your done either inputting info or fixing your changeset press “Commit”.

Good Practices

• Adding a good description of the changeset you made. See Good changeset comments
• Making multiple related edits BEFORE performing a single upload. (This helps reduce server load, and also helps you "preview" your changes prior to committing them!)

Change rollback/Revert

Remember you cannot undo your changes as when you upload your undo, redo history is removed in-app. But, if you made a mistake worthy of it being removed you can do a change rollback (also known as a revert). See Change rollback for more info.
