*** <span style="color:blue">Blue for Imagery Update Recommendation</span>
# Map editor layout (2.) -- <span style="color:blue">Needs new image to show updated GUI </span> and <span style="color:green">comment about scripts</span>
## '''This guide will explain the layout of the WME. Scripts may change the layout and will not be covered here.''' There are five main areas of the Map Editor:
# Map editor toolbar (2.1.) - Add comment about containing user profile
## “At the top of the Waze Map Editor you will see the main toolbar. It includes the primary control buttons for the editor '''as well as the me tab'''.”
# Map editor toolbar (2.1.) - Needs new image to show updated GUI
# Map editor toolbar (2.1.) - Move “Me Tab” Here, change language to represent current layout
## [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Me tab|See Below (Me tab)]] 
# Draw places menu (2.1.4.) - Change language around the ability to have multiple entry spots
## [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Draw places menu|See Below (Draw places menu)]]
# Draw segments menu (2.1.5.) - Merge options, shortcuts, and description
## [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Draw segments menu|See below (Draw segments menu)]]
# Undo button (2.1.7) - Image needs updated
# Redo button (2.1.8) - Image needs updated
# Delete button (2.1.9) - Add language that a place cannot be changed and then deleted in the same batch of saves, it cases a save error
## '''Deleting a place object after making changes to the same place will cause a save error.'''
# Layers (2.1.10) - Layer option images needs updated
# Layers (2.1.10) - Places could maybe use a better picture that more easily displays the place marker
# Layers (2.1.10) - Roads subcategory are now called segments
# Layers (2.1.10) - Redo section to go through each category and subcategory; [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Draw segments menu|See below (Layers)]]
# Refresh Button (2.1.11) - Missing Completely
## [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Refresh|See below (Refresh)]]
# Left pane (2.2) - some scripts will add a tab here
## At the left side of the window, below <s>your username</s>'''the toolbar''', is an area which is both informational and functional. Different tabs or single panes of information are displayed in this area based on whether an object is selected, the type of object and how many, which enable you to view and edit details of objects.
# Left pane (2.2) -  missing explanation of feed tab?
## [[User:SolSash7/Map Editor Interface and Controls ChangeProposals#Feed tab|See below (Feed tab)]]
# Server shortcut and snapshot
## <s>Directly above your user name</s>'''Below the toolbar''' is an area that may include a special link and selector depending upon your rank.
## <s>Above your name</s>'''Below the toolbar''' to the left, you may be able to see a selector to the 3 different map editor server platforms. This link is the same as the one in the settings for selecting your country server. Because most editors have no reason to change this setting, it is not brought out to this level for lower rank editors (below rank 4).
## <s>Above your name</s>'''Below the toolbar''' to the right, you may be able to see a link to Enter Snapshot Mode. This link is only available to rank 4 and higher editors. By pressing this link, the main editor screen will revert all displayed street segments to the last view immediately after the last tile update. This can be helpful for editors to assist junior editors who may have made changes recently (before the next tile update) and are not sure what it looked like before they made the changes. The senior editor is able to view the original map before their changes and reset the map to the prior update if needed.
# No object selected (2.2.2) - needs to be updated to reflect new changes
## When no objects are selected on the map, the Tabs Area displays <s>user</s> information based on which tab is selected. <s>The top section greets you by name and is always visible regardless of what is showing or displayed on the map.</s> Map Problems and Update Requests are not considered map objects, so the tabs <s>below your name</s> will display when a Map Problem or Update Request is selected. '''The tabs available are the feed tab, the drives tab, the area tab, and the settings tab.'''
# No object selected (2.2.2) - needs new image
# Me tab (2.2.3) - Move me tab, see #4
# Areas tab (2.2.5) - Needs new image, and
## This shows the entire editable area -- the area in which you can perform edits. Click on your editable area. The view will be centered on the editable area. If your editable area is spread out, in several sections, it may be centered between areas you can edit. '''Hovering over the 'i' bubble will allow a short information box to appear telling you about your editing permission levels (i.e. Level 2 can edit two miles around drives). '''
# One or more segments selected (2.2.7) - address box should be beneath general tab
# Camera selected (2.2.8) - needs new image

====Me tab====

The '''Me''' tab displays your [[Your Rank and Points|map editing permission level and current points]] for the [[Banks of Servers|server]] on which you are editing (North America or World). The icon present on the me tab changes with your editing rank. To the right of the icon will be your [[Your_Rank_and_Points#Map_editing_rank|editing rank]] as well as username and email. Below is the current amount of points, edits, and forum posts.
