When you add pins to your map layer, you are able to select the marker icon for the pin. Marker icons can be either default icons provided by Civio Engage, or custom markers uploaded in the site or project marker library.

Marker types
------------

Civio Engage allows users to choose between the following marker options:

- **A default marker**: A default marker that can be configured in terms of colour and size.

- **Custom marker**: An icon uploaded by users in either the site or project marker library. Icons uploaded in these libraries will be available in the marker icon dropdown in the Layer Builder.
