3.2 Tutorial: Embed external Boxes

Edumaps

Introduction

  • ✔️ By embedding boxes from other maps, you can make individual boxes centrally available on many other maps.
  • ✔️ If you update a box, it will be updated in all embedded locations. This allows you to make information widely available - with just one change to one box.
  • Embedding is possible with just a few clicks. Here we briefly show you how to proceed.

  • By selecting the page such as “My Maps” you will be redirected to the corresponding page. There you will see the note that you are now in the embedding mode.
  • Now open a map from the map list.
  • In the map view, you can recognize the active embedding mode by the red-white link symbols on the boxes as well as the small red banner “Embedding Mode” at the top left.
  • Simply click on a red-white link symbol, then the following query appears:
  • Do you want to link the box to be embedded to this map here? This allows access to both maps.
  • Confirm with “Do not link” or “Link box”.
  • Now the corresponding box will be automatically embedded in your map.
  • Now you will be redirected back to your map.

  • If you have chosen "Link", you can call up the source map. If you have chosen "Do not link", the link to the source map remains hidden.
  • Edit Mode
  • Please note that embedded boxes are treated differently in edit mode. Their content is protected and cannot be edited.
  • Additionally, you can only move and delete embedded boxes.
