# Sharing the Project

You can share the project with JMap Cloud, the cloud based platform developed by K2 Geospatial. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Beforehand, you must connect to JMap Cloud. The [JMap Server Settings](https://docs-jmapserver-lima.k2geospatial.com/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/jmap-server/jmap-server-settings) section offers details on this subject.
{% endhint %}

Project properties, layers with their associated spatial data sources, order and hierarchy of layers are reproduced in JMap Cloud. 

To share the project with JMap Cloud, in the JMap Cloud section of the project configuration interface :

1. Press ![](https://2224254070-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDUF1p2rT0hfE3QBlbbvE%2Fuploads%2FSPOxZkJqiPR3NdxhZCW9%2Fsync.png?alt=media\&token=77d81526-c003-41be-af49-efd8da6c3c5b) **Sync with JMap Cloud**. A window opens offering you several options:\
   \&#xNAN;**- Actions**\
   **Copy project**: A copy of the project layers (configuration and data) and their spatial data sources is created in JMap Cloud. **No JMap Server → JMap Cloud link is created**. When a layer is updated on JMap Server, the data is not synchronized with JMap Cloud. \
   **Synchronize project**: A copy of the project layers (configuration and data) and their spatial data sources is created in JMap Cloud. **A JMap Server → JMap Cloud link is created**. When a layer is updated on JMap Server, the data is automatically synchronized with JMap Cloud. \
   \&#xNAN;**- Destination project**\
   **Create new project**: You can specify a new project name that will be used in JMap Cloud. If the project uses multiple languages, the name specified here will replace the default language value. All translations are synchronized. \
   **Replace Project**: You select the JMap Cloud project that will be overwritten and replaced by the project you are copying or synchronizing.
2. Add tags if desired.
3. Select the JMap Cloud users who will be the owners of the JMap Cloud project.
4. Press **OK**. \
   If you selected **Copy**, the Status indicates that the project has been copied to JMap Cloud. \
   If you selected **Synchronize**, the section displays the following information: \
   **Id**: Identifier of the project in JMap Cloud. \
   **Status**: The status of the project creation in JMap Cloud. \
   **Last update**: Indicates the last time the project was synchronized. \
   **Automatic synchronization**: Indicates that the synchronization is automatic. 
5. Press ![](https://2224254070-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDUF1p2rT0hfE3QBlbbvE%2Fuploads%2F9T2HoqMN3TCBkOkYPD7w%2Funsync.png?alt=media\&token=c8ee16b8-4bdd-4e44-9415-5ed29a688998) to remove the JMap Server → JMap Cloud link for the project. The JMap Cloud project is not deleted. 
6. Press ![](https://2224254070-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDUF1p2rT0hfE3QBlbbvE%2Fuploads%2FSPOxZkJqiPR3NdxhZCW9%2Fsync.png?alt=media\&token=77d81526-c003-41be-af49-efd8da6c3c5b) to reconfigure the sharing settings. 

Once the project is synchronized with JMap Cloud, the icon ![](https://2224254070-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDUF1p2rT0hfE3QBlbbvE%2Fuploads%2FYuiCIIKUB7IxbG9IquOB%2Fok-noir.png?alt=media\&token=c84ea99c-b0b5-46de-a72f-966bc28285dc) appears in the table of **Projects** section, in the **JMap Cloud** column.
