Editor Sidebar & More Actions

The left vertical sidebar is your central command rail. In addition to switching between View, Build, Library, Media, Translate, Customize, and Analytics, the More (…) menu provides vital data transfer and administrative utilities:

Export Content

Downloads a complete portable JSON backup (.layerpin.json) containing all pins, shapes, categories, translations, and styles.

Export Marker CSV

Exports all pin coordinates, descriptions, tags, and custom fields into a structured spreadsheet for editing or external databases.

Import Items

Upload CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or Apple Numbers (.numbers) sheets with interactive validation and Append / Replace modes.

Duplicate Map

Clone your entire map in the Dashboard (... → Duplicate map) including image tiles, pins, shapes, and custom fields into a private draft.

Publishing & Auto-Save Status

The bottom cloud icon displays real-time saving status: Saved (cloud check), Saving (spinner), or Save (pending draft). The Publish button instantly deploys changes to the global edge CDN or toggles an existing public map back to private.

Hide / Show All Canvas Items

Quickly toggle Hide all items from the More menu to view your clean base image underneath without deleting any annotations. Click again or use ⌥I to restore all markers and shapes.
