# Actions Toolbar
The toolbar is organized into four groups:
### 1. Places & Areas
Tools for adding new locations to your map.
**Add POI** Click this tool, then click anywhere on the map to place a new Point of Interest. The Location Details Editor will open immediately so you can name it, set its type, and configure its properties.
**Add Area** Click this tool, then click on the map to define the corners of a polygon. Each click adds a new corner — close the shape by clicking back on the first point. The Location Details Editor will open when the area is complete.
> **Tip:** Use POIs for specific points like desks, kiosks, or entrances. Use Areas to cover a defined space like a room, zone, or outdoor area.

### 2. Routing & Network
Tools for viewing and managing the route network that powers wayfinding in your apps.
What is the Route Network?
The Route Network is the invisible layer that powers wayfinding in your apps. It defines the paths users can take through your venues — room to room, floor to floor, and building to building. The network is made up of paths (the walkable lines between spaces) and route elements (doors and barriers that influence how those paths are used).
How your network is generated depends on your solution's Graph Setup:
**Manual** — The Route Network is drawn by MapsPeople. You cannot add or edit Doors directly, but you can still place Barriers.
**Automatic** — The Route Network is generated automatically from your map geometry. You have full control to add, edit, and delete Doors and Barriers directly in the CMS.
What you can edit also depends on your user role:
| | Admin (Automatic) | Admin (Manual) | Editor |
| -------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------- | ------ |
| View the network | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Add Barrier Route Elements | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Add Door Route Elements | ✅ | — | — |
| Reload Route Network | ✅ | ✅ | — |
Not sure which setup you have? Contact [MapsPeople Support](https://mapspeople.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals).
**Show Network** Toggle the route network on and off. When enabled, the network paths and route elements (doors and barriers) become visible on the map. This must be enabled before you can add or edit route elements.
**Add** [**Door Route Element**](/cms/interface/edit/actions-toolbar/door-route-element.md) Place a door on the route network. Doors represent physical entryways and control how wayfinding routes pass between rooms, floors, and buildings. [Read more →](/cms/interface/edit/actions-toolbar/door-route-element.md)
**Add** [**Barrier Route Element**](/cms/interface/edit/actions-toolbar/barrier-route-element.md) Place a barrier on the route network. Barriers restrict, delay, or redirect routing through specific parts of your map. [Read more →](/cms/interface/edit/actions-toolbar/barrier-route-element.md)
**Reload Route Network** After making changes to doors or barriers, use this to reload the route network and see your changes applied. Always reload after editing route elements to ensure the network reflects your latest configuration. The button will display a visual indicator when there are pending changes that haven't been reloaded yet.
> **Tip:** Make all your route network changes first, then reload once at the end — rather than reloading after every individual change.

### 3. Room Actions
Tools for editing the geometry of rooms and areas directly on the map.
**Split** Divide an existing room or area into two separate spaces. Select the room you want to split, then use this tool to draw a dividing line across it.
**Merge** Combine two or more adjacent rooms or areas into a single space. Select the rooms you want to merge and apply this tool to join them together.
> **Note:** Room Actions affect the geometry of your map data. Changes here are reflected immediately across your solution.
***
### 4. View & Perspective
Tools for controlling how the map is displayed while you work.
**Satellite Toggle** Switch between the standard map view and a satellite imagery base map. Useful for cross-referencing your indoor map with real-world geography.
**2D / 3D** Toggle between a flat 2D top-down view and a 3D perspective view. 3D mode is useful for visualising multi-floor venues and 3D models placed on the map.
> **Note:** 2D and 3D toggles are only available if enabled in your Solution module. 3D is additionally limited to solutions using Mapbox as the map provider.
**Zoom ( — / + )** Adjust the zoom level of the map. You can also scroll to zoom. The current zoom level is displayed between the two buttons — values range from 15 (zoomed out) to 999 (maximum zoom).
**Reset Bearing** Resets the map orientation back to north-up. Useful if you've rotated the map while navigating and want to return to the default view.
> **Note:** Reset Bearing is only available on solutions using Mapbox as the map provider.
