FAQs
Why don't I see edit suggestions?
It might be because you need to adjust your settings. Make sure:
- The “Issues” layer is turned on
- The “ES (Edit suggestion)” map filter is turned on
Can I approve part of a suggestion?
No. Currently, you can only approve all of the information in a suggestion.
If a suggestion is mostly correct, you can approve it and make the required edit later. Otherwise, reject the suggestion.
