It is possible to upload additional points to an existing point collection without having to replace the entire point collection. To do so, first prepare a .csv file with the new points to be added, as outlined under .

Next, in Django, scroll down to the POINTS section, and this time click on Collections (see Figure 15, below).

The page that opens will contain all point collections for all Wazimap NG profiles. There are two ways to locate an existing point collection (see Figure 16, below):

  1. If you know the point collection’s name, simply enter it in the Search bar (top left), and click Search; or

  2. Filter point collections by the associated Profile (top right), and locate the desired point collection in the list.

Once located, click on the point collection’s name. The same page as shown in , earlier, will open. Next, import your new points by clicking Choose file and selecting the .csv file with the new points to be added. Then, hit Save. After refreshing your Wazimap NG Profile, the new points should appear on the map.
