# open the Map feature in a separate tab

Asked by jinkaizhang on 2017-04-25

The map feature is a handy option for Collect. But it is not allowed to open this page  in a new window/tab.  

It will be more convenient if the map feature cab be launched into a new window.

Thanks,

Jinkai

Hi Jinkai,  
If you want you can:  
 - open the Map tool  
 - copy the link that you see in the address bar  
 - paste the link in another tab/window  
 - continue to work with Collect in the previous tab  
In the new version of Collect that will be released by the end of the year, the Map tool will be "detachable" and can be accessed in every section of Collect.  
Many thanks,
