   2. Shift key: Hold down the shift key to snap to the nearest corner. Whilst holding the shift key left click to set a point there.

   6. Overlap: Be sure to use the instructions tab and tools available to ensure there is no paddock overlap with an existing paddock. Resolution will allow up to a 1% overlap when you attempt to validate and save your changes, however for precision and accuracy we recommend having no overlaps.
2. To complete your paddock after making your changes, either select your start point once more or select ‘Finish Drawing’.

Edit Paddock Name, Colour and Effective Area.

• Edit the name by clicking under name and making changes as you wish
• Select ‘Select Colour’ and choose a new colour, there are more options under ‘Custom’.
• Change the effective area if it is less than the total area. If you already had a smaller effective area and have now made any changes to the paddocks boundary lines you will have to input this again.
• Select ‘Save’ once you are happy with your changes.

Validate And Save Changes.

• After editing your paddocks, you need to validate and save your changes.
• Pro Tip: We recommend only validating and saving your changes made to the map once at the end, after all your changes have been made. 
• To do so, select ‘Validate & Save Changes’.
• Select ‘Save Changes’ to confirm.
• Users will then need to sync the app for these changes to be visible.
