Inline Map Editor#

The map editor is a tool built into WorkAdventure that allows you to quickly place objects, furniture, and define areas
of interest within your map.

How to access the inline map editor#

In order to use the inline map editor, you must be inside your map and logged with an account that has the
"admin" or "editor" tag. The map editor icon will be visible in the action bar at the bottom of the screen.

In order to create a member of your world with the "admin" or the "editor" tag, please read the
corresponding documentation.

Map editor tools#

The map editor provides a set of tools that can be accessed from the toolbar on the top right side of the screen.

• The entity editor tool can be used to place objects on the map (chairs, tables, paintings, plants, etc...).
  Those objects (we call them "entities") can be made interactive. When clicking an interactive entity, a dialog box
  will appear proposing a number of options (opening a website, entering a Jitsi room, etc...)
• The delete tool allows you to easily delete any entity places on the map using the entity editor tool.
• The area editor tool allows you to define areas that will be triggered when the player walks on them. Those areas
  can also be used to trigger actions (like opening a website, entering a Jitsi room, etc...).
• Use configure my room to modify global settings of the room you are currently in.
  As of now, it only allows configuring the megaphone.
