Advanced Tasks : Editing map features
  
Editing map features
The web editing tools allow you to change features on a map and then save the changes so the latest map information is uploaded to a central source. Depending on your reason for changing the map and your role within your organization, edits can include drawing newly-constructed buildings, indicating where new trees have been planted along a boulevard or showing if land parcels have been divided. Additional attribute information related to those features can also be entered or updated.
NOTE: 
Your map administrator enables the feature types that can be edited and the level of auditing, if any, is saved.
You can use web-editing tools to accomplish the following:
• Select a feature using a selection tool to edit that feature
• Create a new polygon, line or point feature. Available tools change if the type of feature being edited is a polygon (building), point (tree) or line (road).
• Create a point or line feature and have it snap to a feature you select
• Move features from one location to another
• Merge multiple features into one feature
• Delete features
• Allow attributes to be entered for one or more features (bulk edit) using the attribute editor.
Accessing the web-editing tools
