Map history

Mapplic keeps automatic snapshots of your Professional maps, so you can look back at earlier versions and restore one if something goes wrong.

ℹ️

Map history is only available with the Professional plan. On other maps the History tab prompts you to activate a Professional slot. View pricing for details.

How snapshots are created

While you edit a Professional map, Mapplic saves snapshots of its data automatically as you work. A snapshot is only taken when the map data has actually changed, and at most one is kept every ~10 minutes so you don’t end up with dozens of near-identical copies. Keep editing and saving and the history builds up on its own.

Limits

LimitValue
Snapshots keptUp to 15 per map. When full, the oldest unnamed snapshots are removed first.
Named snapshotsUp to 4. Named snapshots are always preserved.

The History tab footer shows how many named versions you’ve used (for example, 2 out of 4 named versions used).

Working with snapshots

Open the History tab on a Professional map to see its snapshots, each listed with its date and the name of whoever saved it.

ActionWhat it does
NameGive a snapshot a memorable name so it is preserved (up to 4 named).
PreviewOpen that snapshot of the map in a new tab, without touching the live map.
RestoreReplace the current map data with the selected snapshot. You’ll be asked to confirm.
DeleteRemove a snapshot you no longer need.
⚠️

Restoring overwrites the map’s current data with the snapshot’s data. Preview a snapshot first if you’re unsure.
