3.4 Tutorial: Embed external Columns

✔️ By embedding columns from other maps, you can make individual columns centrally available on many maps.
✔️ If you update a column, it will be updated in all embedded places. In this way, you can make information widely available with only one change to one column.
Embedding is possible with just a few clicks. Here we will briefly show you how to proceed.

1

To embed an external column from another map, click on the three dots to the right of the "New Column" button. A dropdown will then open. Select “Embed external column” there.
Option “Embed external column”
Clicking on it will bring up the following selection, where the column can be searched:

When selecting the page such as “My Maps”, you will be redirected to the corresponding page. There, a notification appears indicating that you are now in embedding mode.
Notice for active embedding mode
Now open a map from the map list.
In the map view, you can recognize the active embedding mode by the red and white link symbols on the columns as well as the small red "Embedding Mode" banner at the top left.

Simply click on a red-white link symbol, and the following prompt appears:
Prompt for linking the map
Do you want to link the column to be embedded to this map here? This allows access to both maps.
Confirm with "Do not link" or "Link".
Now the corresponding column is automatically embedded on your map.
You will now be redirected back to your map.

You can now recognize the embedded column by a small icon at the top right of the column.

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