Overview
Starring a map helps you keep important work easy to find. Instead of searching through your map library, you can add frequently used maps to your Starred section for quick access.
This is especially useful for active projects, recurring meeting notes, study materials, team plans, or any map you open regularly. You can star and unstar maps at any time without affecting the map itself.
