To enable geometry snapping, toggle the setting in the edit panel.
¶ FAQ
¶ I followed the steps to add a feature but it isn't showing up. Why isn't it saving?
The feature may be saving but not be visible on the map. Make sure that you have the edit layer turned on in the layers panel and that you are zoomed in far enough to see the feature.
¶ How do I delete a vertex from a shape?
To delete a vertex, hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and click on the vertex you want to remove. If it doesn't work the first time, move your cursor slightly and try again. It can take some trial and error to click in the correct location.
