Point Features

Point editing is the fastest path for adding or correcting discrete locations such as addresses, assets, or service points.

Point feature draft and attribute review

Create a point feature

1. Open Edit Layer and choose the point layer you want to edit.
2. Choose Create Feature.
3. Select Start and click the map where the new point belongs.
4. Review the draft feature in the right-hand panel.
5. Populate or correct the key attributes.
6. Save the feature.

Once the point is placed, Map Builder immediately loads the draft into the attribute form so the geometry and the business attributes can be completed in one flow. In most real projects, this is how analysts add missing addresses, assets, or service points directly into an already active urban work area instead of dropping points into empty map space.

Edit an existing point

Existing point selected for editing with loaded attributes

1. Open Edit Layer and choose the same point layer.
2. Choose Edit Feature.
3. Click the existing point you want to correct and wait for the existing attributes to load into the feature details panel.
4. Adjust the location if the feature is misplaced.
5. Review the feature details panel and update any attributes that changed.
6. Save the update.

Point edits are usually about small but important corrections: fixing a location, correcting identifiers, or updating descriptive fields without changing the rest of the layer. A strong edit review should show the loaded address and related fields before you save, not just the geometry marker by itself.

What makes point editing practical

Point editing is usually less about geometry complexity and more about location accuracy, identifier discipline, and attribute correctness.
