Create & Edit Routes

In this guide, you will learn how to create and edit a route from an exisiting one or create your very own.

What is a Route?

A route can be thought of as any reusable location information in a sequence of days or stops. A Route might include:

An overview of the entire Route,
Day Overviews,
Day Images,
Location Descriptions,
Location Images,
Additional information,
Links and more

Ankor has a vast library of routes to choose from. You can start by editing an existing route or create one from scratch.

Editing an Existing Route

To edit an existing route:

1. Start by navigating to the 'Routes' tab on the dashboard.

2. Browse and select the route you wish to preview and make edits to.

3. Once you have found the route, click the kebab menu and click edit, or duplicate and edit if it is an Ankor Route. Ankor Routes cannot be edited, but they can be duplicated and edited as a new route.

4. Give the route a new name and click 'Edit Route'. This will launch the route editor.

5. Inside the route editor, make changes to the arrangement of days.

Create a New Route from scratch

To create a route from scratch:

1. Start by navigating to the 'Routes' tab on the dashboard.

2. Click the button 'New Route'.

3. Give the New Route a name that is memorable so you can find it easily in the future.

4. Start by scaffolding out the number of days you are scheduling the route for. If you have specific dates in mind, you can modify the title, for example, from 'Day 1' to 'Day 1—14th of December'.

5. Search for your first location. Ankor offers a vast library of pre-existing locations to choose from. You can add any Ankor location to your route or create a custom location. For details on creating your own location, follow the guide 'Creating Your Own Location'.

6. Add the remaining locations to the route and arrange them in the desired sequence by moving them around.

7. To edit the content of a location, click on it and expand the content area to update the location’s images, description, or pin.

8. Once you’re satisfied with the route, click the 'Overview' section and add a brief summary describing the entire route.

9. When you’ve finished, you can either close the tab, return to the dashboard, or click 'Continue to Design Wizard'. Selecting 'Continue to Design Wizard' will open the edited route in a new Presentation Document, where you can add yachts or make further design changes before sharing it with a client.

Check our 'Creating and Modifying a Presentation' for more information on this topic.

If I make changes to my Route inside the Presentation design area, will it save over the original Route?

The short answer: No.

Changes made in the presentation editor will not affect the original Route. Once a Route is added to a presentation, it essentially becomes a separate copy. Any edits you make will only apply to the version of the Route inside that specific presentation. The original Route remains unchanged. We’re working on a feature that will allow easier editing of the Route and its content directly from within the presentation editor. Until then, think of the Route in your presentation as a standalone copy.
