Change between the map and drawings
If the project is using both structures/areas and the map, you can switch between these with the /
icon.
When you are in map view, you can use the -icon to go back to the last viewed drawing. Similarly, when you are viewing drawings, you can use the
-icon to return to the map view.

Filter for types of registrations
You can use the Filter to display registrations made on the map. It works similarly to filtering on drawings, where you select the registration type from a list. Registrations will be displayed as labels or dots on the map, depending on how much you zoom in. You can then press the registrations to open them.
