editstab_screenshot.jpgWe have launched a new tab under "Your contributions" on Google Maps for Android that lets you keep track of all the places you have edited or added on Google Maps or Search. You can see the status of each suggestion - "Approved", "Pending" or "Not applied". All of this information is available under the "Edits" tab and is visible only to you.

 

Note that currently you will only see suggestions made after May 2016.

@Corrie, thank you for your answer!

Yes, it's my email but from June. And I'm not receiving the "name" email notification about last two months. Could you please try to suggest some edit for Name and to check whether you will get the email?

Former Google Contributor

@GeorgyG Thanks for the clarification. This sounds like possibly a bug in product. Would you please send the feedback in Google Maps? I will also flag this as a potential issue, but its most helpful to report it directly through Google Maps. 

Level 8

@GeorgyG, regarding the reception of an email with change of the name in a place, I can confirm that neither I receive emails with that edition, only the notification in Google Maps.

Thanks. Now we can work essay then before. Remind me all missing informetion. 

Hope more new option cooming soon. 

Level 5

@Corrie , can we have a similar option for 'Reviews' and 'Photos' ?

 

We should be able to see status of our reviews, with an ability to filter by 'Published', 'Private', 'Denied' or any other statuses.

 

Same option for photos will also be great.

 

Currently, I have over 200 reviews, but some of them are probably not published and I am not able to see which ones.

Level 5

To add my voice to similar concerns raised previously by others, I have also experienced that some edits are not accepted for mysterious reasons; and there is no easy way to present evidence for the edit. Pictures don’t always work; for example, how do I take a picture to prove that a building does not exist.

 

I believe that minor edits are accepted based on the LG's tenure / track-record etc. But major edits, such as removing or changing the details of a business which has already been 'claimed by owner' are not accepted till the owner confirms the changes. (Just guessing)

 

Now, many bigger businesses may have a person / team managing social media presence, including GMaps data; in some cases, these folks / teams may not be inclined to make or accept any changes out of sheer lethargy. OR they may not have a process to track and review their older entries. Then it becomes a situation of 'my word against theirs'.

 

 

Request: It would be good for us LGs to understand how edits are accepted; for different categories of places, including businesses which have been claimed by owners. (An overview would be fine, without going into the proprietary details.)

Thanks @Corrie for News Updates,

 

I love Local Guides 🙂

There should be an option to question/challenge the decision of denial as provided by the moderators.

I too would like to add my voice to the request for more information when an edit is recommended but then refused.  I have made one where a business owner has moved house and not updated their address, yet it was denied (they actually have the new one AND the old one on the map).

Hello

 Why it's not Showing edit that we made before March 2016?

hi @Corrie

I think there is a big problem with the " Edits tab ". 

For those who have over 500 added places or edited places, if they want to add review or photo to one of their first added places, they have to scroll the 500 previous added places (each time). 

That is a big problem. 

 

I think , we should be able to sort edits by date, status, name; make filterd by status. 

This new function, will help a lot of LG. 

 

Faithfully

What about all edits we have before May 2016? We spent years in making these maps and you just kill it like that?

Hi @Corrie Thanks for sharing (Y) For the Pending, currently just show the status. How to Undo the Pending edit? I noted that status of Not Applied, because of that place already added or duplicated, but also because no function Find Near This Pointin Google Maps as in Map Maker, a bit difficult for user to verify the existing edit that published. So is there a new function similar for instead? Thanks

Hi dear madam @Corrie

I'm using edit menu to check the approved edits and would like to know is this possible to put a button or menu for each pending edit to cancel that?

I would appreciate it if you could review this suggestion.

Thank you for your help.

@SamanS Thank you for your feedback and feature request. We will share this with the product team.

Really frustrating with this feature.Very bad user experience. I really want the old map maker back. Nearly two months ago, I made several edits to fix the incorrect location of my new house and all my edits are still pending now. I am wondering if they will be pending forever?  This UI doesn't inform me anything useful information like "How long it will be pending" , "How many approvals I got?", "Why my edit is not applied".  Now, when you search with my home address in Google map, there will be two locations come up randomly. I cannot order anything online because they will probably delivery my stuff to the incorrect location. 

Level 9

@CorrieSome of edited were ignored and they are real, or not changed at all even if i am attempting to edit many time. How can you sort this??

 saludos, que significa (no aplica)? tengo una contribusion que aparece 2 veces y en el mapa no aparece el aporte aunque dice aprobado, espero puedan aclarar mi duda gracias.

Edits made recently via the "Feedback" UI in the Google Maps Android App don't seem to show up on the Edits tab on my Pixel XL. I made two "Suggestions" on May 24, 2017 via the Feedback UI in the Maps app, and received email notifications acknowledging both, but they don't show up in the "Edits" tab in the Maps app so I am not sure of their status. Only a couple of older edits from back in 2016 made by the old Editor web UI show up so I cannot tell if my suggestions are still pending, rejected, or some other state.

 

Particularly frustrating since the current "Suggestions" are to fix roads in a tourist area near my house which were reconfigured during recent construction and now no longer allow through traffic in two directions, but Google Maps keeps sending drivers that use Maps navigation down bad routes based on the old road configuration. You can see tourists looking at their phones trying to figure out what's going on.

The current state of suggesting road additions/edits is reportedly an interim solution - when you suggest an edit it goes to a human editor to make the edit. As a result, any road edits you suggest will not appear in your edit history at this time, and your only status update will be the e-mail when it is published (I share a similar frustration, as I have several edits past 60 days pending, and have not gotten a definitive answer as to if they are still pending or have dropped out of the queue).

 

I believe it is still Google's intent to roll out an advanced editor for making direct edits to roads, similar to what the former Map Maker product did. I suspect at that point we will have the ability to see the road edits in our history.

Really great feature... Just wish it could be expanded.. Such as clicking on each suggestion to show the ACTUAL status.. For example, Google comes up with a 3 step method that lets us know what stage in the "suggest edits" feature the suggestion is actually at. I don't know about you guys, but some of my suggestions are instant, and some take days.. This feature would help explain why that is, and show where it's at.

It's really helpful . May I know while can support iOS . Thanks.

Thank you for sharing information.

The support is there in iOS but it's kind of hidden.  It's not obvious at all that there is an edit tab there when your phone (in my case an iPhone SE) is in portrait, but when you twist it to landscape it becomes visible.

@Corrie could you please update the topmost post with the fact that it does work in iOS?

 

Rumour has is that @Corrie isn't on the local guides team anymore and that I should ping @TraciC...

Thanks @TraciC!


@TraciC - edits posted through the new UI earlier this year still aren't showing up for me. My edits from 2016 are there but I don't see any from 2017. See my comment above from 6/9/2017. Still trying to get a road segment that has been permanently  reconfigured during recent construction here to be updated and it's unclear whether my edit is pending, rejected or otherwise if the edit does not show up.

Yeah, I've been trying to get my address added with this feature for over a year.   Very frustrating!  I can't get UPS or other shippers packages without a huge hassle!  People can't google and find us and I'm afraid the fire deparetment or police would have isues in an emergency!  If that ever happens there would be a huge law suit in their future!  Anyway, I'm not impressed with how they ignore the suggestions and corrections I (and others) have made over the last and half to get his resolved.  

Level 4

Good

 

Level 2

I have been submitting a lot of edits for street names, and missing streets (approx 30-50). But these types of edits are not included in the "Edits" tab.

Only edits for "places".

 

Which makes it very frustrating as I currently have about 9 edits which are MIA, and have been for weeks.

Meanwhile I've had adjacent streets actioned within a few days....

Hi Corrie

I submitted an update over a month ago and it is still status pending and saying that Google is reviewing my suggestion. 

What can I do to speed the process of reviewing please ? 

 

Thanks,

Sandrine

Level 5

Have multiple edits for which I received the "thanks and your suggestion is being reviewed". All within the last 3 months. However when I go to this section in maps app (desktop or mobile) to check the status none of those edits show up.

 

Is there a reason for this? Why can't I see other edits I have made?

Level 2

Just confused

Would be useful if one could amend ore revoke own pending contributions. There seem to be no way to further commit nor comment to mistakenly and inaccurate contributions. At least I could not find a way to do so.
