Map Editor Interface Panel Errors

By Arianha on 04/20/2024

Short version- I am having issues with my map editing interface. The layers, and group markers panel on the right side of my map no longer appears.   Long version- I have been spending the last week pouring over creating an interactive map for my community- then the map editing panel for markers, and layers is gone. I cannot interact with anything where that panel should be, and I can't find a toggle where I can turn the panel back on. I have checked my world view and all the layers, and markers and their groups are still there. My community can still interact with the markers and groups I previously created, but now, I can't edit or make new layers, markers, pins etc. When I tried to make a test group category to hopefully bring the panel back to life, the marker group was made- BUT I couldn't access the group in the place where the panel should be (the top right of the map editor)   I have also tried to refresh my browser, log out of my account and back in, and tried to see any other kind of potential visual fix.  

Steps to Reproduce

No steps available, I had windowed out to a separate site, then clicked back to my panel and it disappeared.

Operating System

Windows

Do you have any custom map markers on your account? When there is a problem with them they can break all maps.   Is this only the case with this map or are other maps affected as well? Have you tried deleting the last few markers you have created?

I do not have custom markers no, too scared to try yet. I had only checked that map- I will check my other world and see if it still has that issue. I can also delete markers yes, I was afraid to lose progress which is why I hadn't. I will start a new paragraph after I try these queries and suggestions.   After Checking my other world, Ladrynn has no issue with the right panel disappearing in the map editor. I will make a new map for the P.A.C.K world and see if it has the same visual issue. -I also made a second map, and the panel exists there too. SO it must be a marker incompatibility on that single map, but I don't know where in my markers I caused it to glitch.

Check the name /title of your your markers - quotes MAY some times cause this ;)

I have solved it, it was my Secondary Layer on my map. I appreciate the help. Hopefully this can get patched/fixed so users have more control over their markers <3 Thank you for the guidance!!
