# How to Publish or Hide SubMaps 🗞️

## This article will explain the process for Publishing or Hiding SubMaps from visibility.

A SubMap is essentially a mini-EcoMap within your main platform, made of a collection of Pages. Note: SubMaps are an advanced premium feature. Reach out to your CSM or Sales Rep for more information.

### 1. Click on Manage SubMaps from the User Menu.

Note: In order to see this Manage SubMaps option you must be an Admin or SubMap manager with assigned SubMaps. If you don't see the Manage SubMaps option, speak to your Platform Administrator. They may need to update your permission set. [Read about managing user permissions here](https://help.ecomap.tech/how-to-manage-user-permissions?hsLang=en).

### 2. Click the Edit button for the SubMap you want to Publish or Hide.

Note: SubMap Managers only see SubMaps they have been assigned.

### 3. The Basic Setup tab will open automatically. Scroll or look down the form until you find the SubMap Publication Status dropdown.

Move the setting to **Draft** to Hide the SubMap from general visibility.

Move the setting to **Publish** to make the SubMap visible based on minimum User Role Permission settings (which can be configured under the Permissions section of this SubMap Settings page).

No need to Save-- your settings will stick automatically. 

#### Well done! 👏
