Map sidebar customization
One of the key features of Mapotic that sets it apart from other mapping platforms is its extensive community features. However, we are aware that not all Mapotic map owner use the community features and would rather use the space of the sidebar for something else than the news feed.
For this reason, we have introduced a new option to replace the news feed with category control panel. This way users can explore your map even faster.
How to customize your sidebar
In order to customise the sidebar on your map’s homepage, navigate to the Map Homepage section in the Basic settings.
After the new update you have two options:
Homepage with activity feed: With this setting on, when users open your map, they will see your activity feed in the sidebar, which shows the latest posts, places or comments that have been added to your map.
Homepage with categories: With this setting on, users will see a large category navigation panel in the sidebar, helping them to navigate through your map quickly.
