What are Teams?

Teams are spaces for individuals to work together on pieces of content. If you are in a Team with other users, and content has been assigned to that Team, anyone else in that Team can edit that content.

This tutorial is for creating Teams via the Contribute system. Instructions for creating Teams through Admin are also available.

Example:

• Dark Earth, Hidden London on Layers of London

Resources:

• Humap & Copyright
• Humap & GDPR
• Different types of user accounts on Humap

Logging in

Go to the home page of the Humap instance you’d like to contribute to and click Explore the Map

• From the map home page, click the plus icon in the top right corner of the information tray
• If you’re not logged in, log in now
• If public signups are enabled, you can create an account
• If signups are not enabled, you’ll need an invitation from the project owner to contribute

• You will be taken to the Contribution home screen
