Publishing and viewer

Configure viewer controls and use background navigation

For editors and visitors Updated 28 September 2026

Where

Settings Viewer controls and public viewer

Show the controls visitors need and let them move between background views.

Steps

  1. In Settings choose Background selector, Search and filter, Availability legend, Zoom and reset buttons, and the Google Map / Satellite toggle as required.
  2. Set the Default viewer background.
  3. Publish and open the public viewer.
  4. Use the background selector or a point that opens a background to change views.
  5. Use the available return navigation after following a background action.

Expected result

The public map presents the chosen controls and consistent navigation between published backgrounds.

Tips and limits

The viewer shows a centred loading indicator while content loads. Hiding a selector does not remove record navigation actions. Every destination must exist in the published layout. Large backgrounds still depend on device and network performance.

Effect on the published viewer

Control visibility and the opening background require publishing.
