Suggest an edit
Designed to allow editors to suggest edits on WME when map attributes are locked due to lack of permissions, instead of asking for a Map Unlock. This will enable those editors to improve the accuracy and completeness of the map, and contribute to the overall quality of the map.
Two roles:
- Suggestor - editors who want to edit a locked object
- Moderator - editors who review edit suggestions
Suggestor flow
- As a Waze map editor, when you run into a segment you’re not allowed to edit, you can suggest edits.
- Your suggested edits won't be directly added to the map. They will first be listed in the Issue tracker, since they require another experienced editor’s approval.
- To find them there enable the Issues layer, from the right-side panel, click to open the Issue Tracker from the top of the left side panel and go to the Edit Suggestions (ES) tab. Use the filters to find your view your suggestion.
- You will get an email when an experienced editor is done reviewing your suggestion, saying if it was approved or not.
Remark: When you’re done with regular editing, you should first hit Save and only then start suggesting. Don't mix edit work and suggesting.
