WP Maps application has a very useful auto-save function that saves any changes you make to your store and\/or product data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The auto-update function can be used on the WP Maps platform, to automatically save or update changes made to store and product data for a certain build. In addition, the auto-update feature also works on the WP Maps Spreadsheet tool add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s go over both these sections separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Maps Platform<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you make store or product data changes to a specific build, you will need to press the \u201cUpdate\u201d button on the \u201cWidgets\u201d page for the changes to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WP Maps auto-update function will be triggered in 20 minutes if you do not update the build manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable the auto-update function, you simply need to turn it on in the \u201cPublish\u201d section when creating a new \u201cbuild\u201d from the \u201cwidgets\u201d page. Follow the below steps to enable or disable the auto-save feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log in to your WP maps account, and press on the \u201cWidgets\u201d tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. On the \u201cWidgets\u201d page, click on \u201cInstall Widget\u201d\"image.png\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fill in the information on the \u201cMAP CONFIGURATION\u201d, \u201cUI SETTINGS\u201d, and \u201cDATA FILTERING\u201d sections, and press \u201cNext\u201d.\"image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. On the \u201cPUBLISH\u201d section, give your build a name, and click on the \u201cAuto Update\u201d button to enable auto-save\"image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Click on the \u201cPublish\u201d button to publish the build<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you would like to enable or disable auto-save for a specific existing build, please follow the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to the \u201cWidgets\u201d page<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click on the \u201cOptions\u201d button on a specific build, and select the \u201cEdit\u201d option\"image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Go to the \u201cPUBLISH\u201d section, click on the \u201cAuto Update\u201d button to enable (or disable) auto-save\"image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Click on “Update” when you’re done <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If the auto-update option is left \u201coff\u201d, then users will need to manually update or save any changes they make by pressing the \u201cUpdate\u201d button on the build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      WP Maps Spreadsheet Tool<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Similarly, the auto-update function is also available on Google Sheets once you install the WP Maps spreadsheet tool add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Any changes that a user makes to the store or product data on a Google spreadsheet will need to be saved manually by pressing the \u201cSave Now\u201d button. Changes made to the product or store data are NOT auto-updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      To manually apply any changes to a specific build, simply select the build from the \u201cWidgets Build\u201d drop-down menu and then press the \u201cPublish\u201d button. If the build is not manually updated in 20 minutes, the auto-update function will be triggered and the changes made to the data will automatically be applied to the selected specific build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
