Annotating your map

A map is as good as the story it tells. Annotate your map with workspace elements to highlight specific areas, guide users around the map, or simply prove a point.

Elements in the workspace can be resized and rotated. Most elements can only be resized by pulling from the corner, but you can change the aspect ratio for notes and images by pulling from the side as well.

Locking elements

Once you’re done creating and fine-tuning your objects, you can lock (🔒) them to make sure they aren’t inadvertently moved or modified.

Locking will prevent making any changes to an object’s style or properties until it’s unlocked. (🔓)
