Once your map is connected to a data source such as Google Sheets, Notion or other supported data sources, you can keep it updated through data sync. This ensures that any changes in your table - new rows, updated values, or removed records - are reflected in your map.

Manual Sync

Manual sync lets you refresh your dataset on demand. Whenever you make changes to the sheet or database, you can update the latest data into your map.

There are two ways to manually sync, depending on how your map was created:

  1. Maps created directly on MapOn.ai (including homepage or workspace)

    1. Open any projects you want to sync on Mapon.ai
    2. In the legend panel, click the More menu.
    3. Select Sync now, and the dataset will refresh immediately with the latest changes from the data sources.

If you're using Notion, changes may take a few minutes to update. We recommend waiting a few minutes after editing before triggering a manual sync.

  1. Maps created with the Google Sheets add-on (💡Learn more about MapOn.ai for Google Sheets)

    1. Open the Google Sheet you made changes.
    2. Launch the MapOn.ai add-on from the sidebar.
    3. Locate your project in the add-on and click the Sync button.
    4. Selected project will be updated with the latest changes.

When you encounter this: Sync failed. The current field order doesn’t match the original. This may happen if lng & lat fields were deleted or renamed, or if new fields were inserted into the original field order.

Automatic Sync

Automatic sync will allow your maps to stay continuously updated. You’ll be able to configure sync intervals - for example, daily or weekly - so that any updates made in your Google Sheet or Notion database are automatically reflected in your projects.

Auto sync is not available for maps created with the Google Sheets add-on
