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.
Moderator flow
- In order to review open suggestions, use the following Issue tracker Filters:
- Toggle edit suggestions > on
- Source: editors > pick levels. By default L1 will be checked. This refers to the suggester’s level.
- Status > open. Please note that “closed status” refers to suggestions that have been rejected.
- Segment types > you can choose all types or specific types
- Lock level: this refers to the lock level of the segment. By default, all levels will be selected
- Click Apply
Remark: Please note that you can select one of the sources: either Google (KoiFish suggestions) or Editors (Suggest an edit) and not both at the same time.
