The management of data on a site can only be performed by a person with administration rights. The site administrator can work on a draft version of the site in the background, while other users work on a live (published) version of the same site. Multiple users can work in the published site at the same time, using the features and functions such as Mark and Measure and adding POIs.
A draft version of a site is created when you click Site Setup or during the site creation process. This allows you to add/edit data and perform a QC before publishing the changes to all users.
