Add To Group > By Marker: Grouping Markers by Matching Styles

If you need to automatically group markers based on their style, Scribble Maps provides a Bulk Style Change option through the Add To Group > By Marker tool. This feature allows you to select markers of a specific style and move them into a designated group, making it easier to organize and manage markers 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
