The Add Data from Existing Map feature allows you to bring layers, files, and content from one map into another — without needing to re-upload or reprocess anything.
This is ideal for comparing captures, reusing annotations, carrying forward reports, or building on previous work.
Where to Find It
Open an existing map (for example, a recent capture).
Click Add Data.
Select Add from your workspace.
This opens the map import modal.
Browsing & Filtering Data
When the modal opens, it is automatically filtered by:
Your current workspace
Your user profile
You can adjust these filters at any time to:
Browse data from other workspaces
Select another user
Remove yourself as a filter
Search by:
Location
Map name
File name
Map Browser (Left Panel)
On the left-hand side, you’ll see a map browser with map tiles.
From here, you can:
Click on a map tile to view its contents
Open the map in a new tab to confirm it's the correct one before importing
Available Layer Types
All content is grouped by type to make browsing easier. You’ll see folders for:
Annotations
Media files
360 images
Rasters(Orthophotos, DEMs, and processed outputs)
3D(LAS point clouds and textured meshes)
3D Tiles
Vectors (Shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML, DXF)
DEMs (Height-encoded value DEMs)
Volumetric layers
Videos
Other files (PDFs, Excel reports, and similar documents)
Selecting What to Import
You have two options:
Import Everything in a Folder
Tick the checkbox next to a folder to import all layers within that group.
Import Specific Layers
Expand a folder.
Select only the individual layers you need.
This gives you full control over what gets added to your current map.
What Happens After Import?
Once imported:
A default folder is created in your current map.
The folder name includes:
The originating map name
The original created date
Layers are automatically organised by type.
You can:
Rename folders
Reorganise layers
Move items into different folders
It’s flexible and easy to tidy up as needed.

Compare past and current captures
Maintain inspection history
Keep audit trails intact
When to Use This Feature
This feature is especially useful when you want to:
Compare site progress over time
Reuse annotations or vector overlays
Bring volumetric layers into a new capture
Consolidate reporting assets
