      Navigate to the Proxi Map that you want to use to crowdsource (or gather) information and places on. If you haven't made a map yet, you can do so from [Proxi.co](http://Proxi.co).

      Turn on Point Approval (Optional)

      You can turn on point approval at any time. This means that you have to approve points before they appear on the Proxi Map.
      To turn on point approval, go to your creator portal and click "Share Settings" on the left side. Next, click the checkbox under "crowdsourced point approval" to turn on point approval. Finally, click "Save".

      Approving Points (if approval is turned on)

      To approve points suggested for the map, simply find the black "x"ed out points and click on them. In the point, you can click "activate". If you would like to remove the point, you can click "edit" then "delete".

      Sharing a Collaborative Map

      In your creator portal, click on "share map" on the top right side of the screen.
      If you want people to be able to add points to the map, click the toggle to "collaborate" option. Then copy the link to the map to your clipboard.
      Tip! You can customize your map link in the "map settings" drawer.

      Embedding a Collaborative Map

      You can also embed your collaborative map in your website or app by copying the embed code in the same share pop-up.

      How Collaborators Add Points to Your Map

      When users have the collaboration link, they will see an additional green button on the lower left side that allows them to add a point to the map.
      The collaborators will be prompted to pick a category and find a place for their point. They will also be able to add additional details like a description, more info links, tags, photos and more.
      If creator point approval is off, the point will automatically appear on the map anywhere it is shared. If approval is turned on, the creator will need to approve the point in the creator portal prior to it appearing on the map.
