Share, copy or post a map

Give people a link that needs no login, copy a plan to start the next one, or announce it in a channel.

Unit Leader or Admin Web — the map’s Share and Post menus

How to do it

  1. Share: open the Share menu and pick view or edit. You get a /m/… link that works without signing in.
  2. Post: pick a channel and press Post. The bot sends an embed with the link and the counts.
  3. Duplicate: press Duplicate for a copy of the plan — the share link deliberately does not come with it.
  4. Rename: the Name and description form on the map page.
  5. Turn sharing off again by setting it to off, or press New link to replace the token.

Worth knowing

  • The link is the credential. Anybody who has it can open the map, and with edit can draw on it. New link is the only way to un-share a map that has travelled further than intended.
  • Changing view↔edit keeps the same token, so tightening the rights does not break every copy of the link already out there.
  • A map posted in Discord keeps the link it was posted with. Post it again if the site’s address changes.
  • It posts a link rather than a picture, which is what keeps it current while the plan is still being drawn.
