Sharing settings in your map 0:11
In the map editor, navigate to Sharing under the access tab on the left side of your map editor.
Open this section to access all sharing-related configuration options.
Use this area to control how the map appears when shared externally.
Edit the map web address/URL
This will only change the last part of the URL (the map ID). Everything before it
https:app.proxi.co/m/, will stay the same.If you change the address later, the old one keeps working and sends people to the new one.
https://app.proxi.co/m/[YOUR-MAP-ID]
^ only this part changes
Edit the link preview details 0:21
This is what people see when this link is pasted into a text, an email, or a social post. Leave these blank and we’ll use the map’s name and cover image.
Update the page title so the shared link displays a clear, relevant name.
Add a description that summarizes the map for social posts and messaging apps.
Select a Link Preview Image that represents the map well when shared.
Upload an image from your computer or paste the URL
To remove the preview image, click on the trash can icon.
1200×630 recommended. Falls back to the map's cover image, then a screenshot of the map.
Review the preview to ensure it looks professional before saving.
Edit the Phone icon and name 0:31
Set how the map appears when someone saves it to their phone’s home screen.
Add a short name - keep it under 12 characters to fit under the phone icon
Upload an image or paste the image URL:
App icon (192x192) - the icon on someone's phone
App Icon (512x512) - a bigger version, used on the loading screen.
Favicon - browser tab icon
Confirm the map or asset will display like an app icon on mobile devices.
Make sure the visual identity is consistent and recognizable for users.
Verify the icon and shortcut presentation match your brand.
Adjust discovery settings for public visibility 0:52
Decide whether the map should be listed publicly (whether search engines can find it)
Click the arrow next to discovery to expand the settings options
Toggle on the searchable button
If searchable is enabled, the map can be included in:
Search results
Sitemap listings
Landing pages where the map is embedded
Use this setting when you want to increase traffic and discoverability.
Turn discovery off if the map should not appear in search or public listings.
When disabled, the map remains accessible only through direct links.
Use this option for private, internal, or limited-access sharing.
Cautionary Notes
Public discovery settings can increase visibility: Only enable public listing if the map is intended for broader access.
Check all preview assets carefully: Incorrect titles, descriptions, or images may create a poor first impression when shared.
Home screen appearance matters on mobile: Ensure the icon and favicon are clear and recognizable at small sizes.
Tips for Efficiency
Prepare your title, description, and preview image before opening settings to save time.
Use a consistent brand image for the app icon, favicon, and preview image.
If you frequently share maps publicly, keep discovery enabled by default and only disable it for restricted maps.
Test the shared link on a messaging app and a mobile device to confirm the preview and home screen appearance look correct.
