1. Why isn't my CAD map showing the latest updates? Refresh your browser or the Arborgold app to see the most recent changes. Make sure you've clicked Save after editing your map. If updates are still missing, clear your browser cache or try logging in again. Contact Arborgold support if issues persist.

3. Can I reset the CAD map to its original version? Yes. Use the Undo option for recent changes, or look for a Reset Map or Revert to Default option to return to the default view. Be aware: resetting will remove any custom drawings or highlights you’ve added since the last save.
