Creating

a

new

base

map

based

on

an

existing

base

map

In

most

cases,

when

you

finish

testing

a

map,

you

promote

it

to

the

gold

state.

Once

the

map

is

in

the

gold

state,

it

is

locked

and

you

can

no

longer

make

modifications

to

the

map

tree

structure,

map

settings,

or

the

menu-item

properties.

However,

you

can

make

a

copy

of

the

map,

make

changes

to

the

copy,

test

and

promote

the

copy,

and

then

update

the

network-sync

settings

to

use

the

modified

copy

in

place

of

the

original

map.

Or,

you

might

want

to

create

a

new

map

that

has

contents

similar

to

an

existing

map.

In

this

case,

you

can

make

a

copy

of

an

changes

the

copy,

then

begin

your

testing

process.
