Bulk > Marker Style: Changing Styles for Markers in a Group

If you need to update the style of multiple markers within a group, Scribble Maps provides a Bulk Style Change option through the Bulk > Marker Style > In Group tool. This feature allows you to apply a new marker style to all markers inside a selected group, making it easy to maintain consistency 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
