Navigating Discussion Forums

To access a project's discussion forums, click 'Discussion Forums' or the comment symbol in the main menu. The Discussion Forum layout is shown below.

Viewing Discussions and Plans

You can click on a forum and then a thread, or jump right into a thread on the 'Latest Discussions' feed. Once in a thread you'll likely see comments and plans from other project participants. A checkbox appears next plans — click the checkbox to add that plan to the map viewer.

Generating reports on plans

You can view reports on plans same as in the Overlay Layers interface — simply right click on the plan and select 'View Reports'.

Contributing to Discussions

To contribute, scroll to the bottom of a thread — there you can type a reply and share plans.

Map Bookmarks

You can "bookmark" a particular view of the map just as you see it on your screen and share it with collaborators in a discussion thread. Bookmarking captures the basemap, position, and zoom of the map viewer as well as any visible overlay layers and sketches. This allows other users to see exactly what you're looking at and vice versa.
