Controls and Shortcuts

Moving Around the Map

Drag to pan and scroll to zoom. Switch the basemap between Streets and Satellite in the Layers tab.


Selecting Things

Click a pin, shape, or store to select it. The right panel switches to it, and a style toolbar replaces the drawing toolbar.

Shift-click shapes to build a selection of two or more. A combine toolbar appears with Union, Intersect, Difference, and Delete. Shift-clicking empty map keeps the selection; a plain click clears it. See Shapes.


Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut

C

Shortcuts are ignored while your cursor is in a text field, so you can type freely in the chat or a rename box.


Right-Click Menus

Right-click (or long-press on a touch screen) to act on whatever is under the cursor.

Empty Map

  • Drop pin here

  • Add annotation here

A Pin

  • Draw trade zone

  • Create deal — hidden once the pin already has a deal

  • Add comment

  • Rename

  • Delete — the item names the pin it will remove

A Shape

  • Edit shape — reshape it by dragging its points. Missing on shapes an analysis produced, since those can't be reshaped

  • Add comment

  • Rename

  • Drop pin here and Add annotation here — these act on the point you clicked, not the shape

  • Delete — the item names the shape it will remove

An Existing Store

  • Draw trade zone

  • Update ID


Undo and Redo

Undo (shortcut ⌘Z) and Redo (shortcut ⌘⇧Z) step back and forth through your edits. The toolbar buttons grey out when there's nothing left either way.

Combining shapes and deleting a selection each count as one step, so a single undo puts the originals back.


In a Read-Only Study

Viewing a study you can't edit, or one that's archived, hides the toolbar and disables the shortcuts and right-click menus. Panning, zooming, selecting, and reading stay available. See Sharing and Exporting Studies.
