Editing maps

Maps provide the structure of documents and can also provide information needed for outputs. You can add, remove or rearrange topics and maps to change the structure, or you can add or edit metadata.

Use Map Editor for the following tasks:

  • Edit the title of a map
  • Add or remove existing topics to a map
  • Change the order of the topics within a map
  • Create new topics and add them to a map
