Create and edit a map feedback Create and edit a map feedback ============================== Updated 16 hours ago · 3 min read Search Search The map feedback tool lets the community add feedback to a project by placing map markers (pins) on specific locations on a map. This tool is great for encouraging communities to engage with a project. Engagement managers can use this geospatial data to identify trends and get deeper insights to inform decision-making. Add a Map Feedback Tool ----------------------- To add a map feedback tool to your project: 1. In the left-hand menu, click **Projects**. 2. Click on a project to open it. 3. In the project sub-menu, under **Participation**, click **Map feedback**. This shows all the map feedback tools created for this project. 4. Click on the **+** icon located on the right-hand side of the screen. 5. Give the map feedback tool a **Title**. This will be publicly visible on your project page. 6. Provide a brief **Summary**. This appears on the tool's card in the project's **Participate** list, not on the tool's own page. 7. Add **Introduction text** to give public users more information about the topic of the map feedback tool. It appears above the map on the public page, so it is the right place for the instructions you want people to read before they drop a pin. 8. Choose a map in **Add a map**, in the settings panel on the right. A map feedback tool will not save without one. If address search is enabled on the map you choose, users will be able to search for specific locations when giving feedback. 9. Click **Add input** to select the type of information you'd like to gather. 10. Set an **End date** to determine when this map feedback tool will stop accepting new submissions. 11. Decide if users need to log in to submit feedback by selecting **Anyone** or **Authenticated** in the **Who can submit** dropdown. 12. Fill in **Card call to action text** in the same panel. This is the text on the tool's card wherever it appears in a list, it is limited to 30 characters, and the tool will not save without it. 13. Decide whether feedback submissions need to be moderated or can be published automatically by selecting **Manual moderation**, **Automatic moderation** or **Publish immediately** from the **Submission moderation** dropdown. 14. When you're finished, click **Publish**. ![The settings panel on a new Map feedback tool, with the first and last of its nine fields traced: Who can submit, set to Anyone, at the top, and Submission moderation, set to Automatic moderation, at the bottom.](https://engage.knowledge.civ.io/storage/xXizdw3dWkBTE3qGk54LcyCio6Kj5SnrntbGToQC.png) ![A published map feedback tool as residents see it, with a handful of community-submitted pins on the map.](https://engage.knowledge.civ.io/storage/ObEj4VlQaQp8e6ahJOd9Kb3fdBabVEDTqNjRaEoZ.png) Edit a Map Feedback Tool ------------------------ To edit a map feedback tool: 1.
