Editing data after importing the XML file
If you have captured your data in survey software and find you need to make a large number of edits after importing into Landonline, it is best to make the edits in your survey software, save the changes, and then re-import your XML file back into Landonline. You’ll find it quicker and it will ensure your survey software model data is up to date.
