New Marker Style
- Elliot Dooleysmith
Introduced in v2022.1 - February 2022
We have updated the classic pin drop resource marker style for a clearer and more modern aesthetic.
This is an opt-in UI update.
Some experience with JSON is recommended but not required.

The new marker has an updated shape along with an always visible name label, allowing users to easily find the correct resource.
The name labels can easily be hidden using the show/hide tooltip button.
