What if you click on a point to edit and notice that nothing about the point needs to be changed?
You conducted thorough research to determine that the name, address, and location are correct, and examined the attributes to ensure that they are all properly formatted. So now what? You put in time and effort to research this point; can you still get credit for that work and have the point added to your edit history? Yes!
The Mark Reviewed tab in a point’s editing window allows you to mark a point that does not require any changes as Reviewed. This tells other volunteers and USGS staff that the point had been researched and checked for quality, but that no changes were required or made.
If you do make a change to a point (for example, you change the symbol from a High School to an Elementary School), then the checkmark tab will be grayed out. If you intended to make this change, then click save. If you did not intend to make the change, you can re-enable the Mark Reviewed tab by clicking the Undo Changes tab to the left of the Mark Reviewed tab.
