• Cloud-based map styles have version history, allowing you to view, restore, or duplicate previous versions of your custom styles.

• Map style versions are categorized as drafts (saved or unsaved) and published versions, impacting their usability in your applications.

• You can duplicate a map style version to create a new, independent style based on a previous iteration.

• Restoring a map style version reverts the current style to a selected previous version, requiring publishing to make it live in your applications.

• Publishing a map style makes the latest changes visible in all associated applications, so save changes as drafts until ready for final release.

2. Select an existing map style.
3. SelectCustomize.
