   Civio Engage provides two types of marker libraries where custom markers are uploaded. Markers in these libraries will be available to users in the Map Builder when creating a map layer with descriptive pins.

- **Site marker library**: Icons uploaded in the site marker library will be available in the Map Builder for any project.
- **Project marker library**: Icons uploaded in the project marker library will be available in the Map Builder of that specific project.
