Studio's map, layer, chart, viewport, effects and filter settings can be modified via a human-readable JSON configuration file. The built-in JSON editor allows you to access and modify these files, updating the map in real time. Studio's JSON editor also offers a range of familiar editing shortcuts, syntax highlighting, in-text syntax error highlights, and other quality-of-life features.

You may also select Copy Config to copy the config to your clipboard.

Layer Config

To open the config editor for Layers, click ⋮ More Options on a layer then click Edit Config.

Viewport Config

To open the viewport config, click the Edit Viewport Config on the top right icon tray.

Chart Config

To edit the chart config, open a chart then click Edit Config next to the chart's settings.

Filter Config

To edit the filter config, open a chart then click Filter Config next to the chart's settings.

Developer Tools

The config editor allows users to save and edit the JSON locally, bringing the map into Studio at their own pace. Copying the layer configuration may also be useful for developers, who can access Studio via our SDKs.

• Create or update map layers on the Studio Cloud via the Data SDK.
• Create or update layers for your own notebooks/web applications via our Map SDK.
