Copy a Saved Marker Layer to Your Personal Folder in Salesforce Maps

This article answers the question: how do you copy a shared marker layer from the Salesforce Maps Corporate folder so you can edit it? Salesforce Maps shared Corporate Folder structure allows administrators to create shared marker layers that users throughout the organization can plot to visualize their own important data. These shared layers are read-only for most users, meaning most people do not have permission to modify them directly. However, every user has permission to save a copy of these marker layers into their own private Personal folder. After saving a copy of a layer, you can modify it based on your unique needs and preferences.

Copy a Shared Marker Layer to Your Personal Folder

1. Select the Layers tab in the main navigation bar at the top of your screen.
2. Select the Saved tab, then the Corporate folder to open your organization's shared folder.
3. Find the saved marker layer you want to modify. The layer may be saved in a subfolder inside the Corporate folder. If you cannot find it right away, try searching for it by name using the Search Saved Layers bar.
4. Hover over the three vertical dots to the right of the marker layer name to open the Layer Actions menu.
5. Click Copy To to begin making a copy of this marker layer.
6. Choose the folder where you want to save your copy. Check the box next to your name to choose your Personal folder.
7. Click Submit to save your copy of this marker layer in your Personal folder.

Edit Your Copied Marker Layer

1. Return to your Personal folder. Use the breadcrumb trail at the top of the Saved tab to navigate back Home, then select your Personal folder.
2. Find the copy of the marker layer you saved.
3. Hover over the three vertical dots in line with the marker layer name to open the Layer Actions menu.
4. Click Edit to begin modifying your saved marker layer copy.
