Share your map
Publish and embed a map
Make a reviewed version public, share a viewer link, or add the map to your website.
Understand public access
| Version or link | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Studio draft and Preview | Signed-in members of the active workspace, according to their role. |
| External viewer link | Anyone with the link, when the map is published and this link is enabled. |
| Website embed | Published content is public. Allowed websites control where browsers can frame it; the embed URL can also be opened directly. |
Try saving and publishing separately

Rename the shop in the example, then choose Save draft. The workspace version changes while the visitor version stays the same. Publish the saved changes to update the visitor version, or unpublish the example to see what is retained.
Publish a version
- Review the map in Preview, including place cards, labels and every floor.
- As a workspace owner or admin, open Share in the studio.
- Choose Publish map for a saved draft, or Save and publish if you have unsaved changes. A failed save prevents publication.
- Wait for the confirmation. Copy the External viewer link or choose Open viewer to check the public result.
The first publication enables the external viewer link. Website embeds start disabled. The public map contains the version you published; later draft edits and saves do not change it.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | There is no active public version. |
| Published | The published snapshot matches your current draft. Check the sharing switches to see which public routes are enabled. |
| Unpublished changes | There is an active public version, but the draft has newer changes. |
Embed on your website
- Publish the map, then open Share and select Enable website embeds.
- Under Allowed websites, add each website address that will display the map, one per line. Use HTTPS and include only the scheme and host, plus a port if your site uses one.
- Choose Save sharing settings, then copy the Embed code.
- Paste the code into an HTML or embed block in your website builder. If someone else maintains your website, give them the code.
- Open the actual website page and check the map on desktop and mobile. Some website builders display previews on a separate domain, which also needs to be allowed if you want the map there.
https://harbour.example
https://www.harbour.exampleDo not include a page path such as /visit, a wildcard such as *.example, or query parameters. You can list up to 20 exact website origins. Adding www does not automatically allow the address without www.

></iframe>Use the complete code copied from Share for your real map. The width follows its container; adjust height to suit your page. Keep a meaningful title so people using assistive technology can identify the map.
Update a live map
- Make and preview your changes in the studio.
- Open Share and choose Publish saved changes, or Save and publish if needed.
- Check the public viewer after publication. The viewer link and embed URL stay the same, so your website code does not need replacing.
Republishing preserves your existing sharing settings. Share shows recent publication history so you can see when versions were published; restoring an older publication is not currently available.
Turn off public access
The external viewer and website embed switches are independent. Turn off the route you no longer need and choose Save sharing settings. Turning off the external viewer does not turn off an enabled embed.
- To stop both routes, choose Unpublish map in Share.
- Read the confirmation and choose Confirm unpublish. Your editable draft is retained.
- If you publish again later, the external viewer is enabled again and embeds start disabled. Review sharing settings before reusing the map.
