Bulk > Marker Style: Resizing Markers in a Group

If you need to resize multiple markers at once, Scribble Maps provides a Bulk Style Change option through the Bulk > Marker Style > Resize tool. This feature allows you to uniformly scale all markers in a selected group, making it easier to maintain consistency in marker visibility across your map.

Note: To use the Add Group feature, you must be logged-in to a Pro account. To learn how to upgrade, visit this link: How to upgrade to a Pro account
