Pick several items, copy and undo

Pick several items with Shift, then move, duplicate, copy, delete or restyle them together; copy and paste items; and undo or redo changes.

On a computer you can work on several items at once, copy and paste them, and undo a change you didn't mean.

Pick several items

  • Hold Shift and click each item (sign, point, photo or drawing). Shift + click again drops one.
  • Or hold Shift and drag a box: everything with any part inside it is picked.

A bar at the bottom shows how many are picked. ✕ or Esc lets them go.

Work on them together

  • Drag one and they all move together.
  • Move to moves them to another layer, in any phase.
  • Duplicate into copies them, exactly as they are, into another layer, for example the same signs in the next phase.
  • Copy copies them, ready to paste (below).
  • Delete deletes them all, after you confirm.
  • Edit style shows when they're all drawings of one kind, such as measurements. What you change there changes on all of them; everything else about each one stays as it is.

To copy a whole layer into another phase, open its layer settings (the pencil on the layer, under More, Layers) and use Copy into a phase.

Copy and paste

  • Ctrl + C copies the open item, or the picked items.
  • Ctrl + V pastes them where the mouse is: on the map, or on the ground in Street View. Map labels count on, for example A1 becomes A2.
  • Ctrl + D duplicates the open item, just beside it.

Undo and redo

Ctrl + Z undoes your last change in the project: a move, an edit, a paste, even a delete (the item comes back, but not its photos). Ctrl + Shift + Z (or Ctrl + Y) redoes it. Several changes made as one, such as a group move, undo as one. Use Cmd instead of Ctrl on a Mac.

Undo covers what you've done since opening the project on this device.
