When editing the geometry in a third party tool like QGIS, TheocBase will not be aware of the changes during cloud syncing. In order to upload the changes you need to mark the territories as edited e.g. add a blank in the remark field. Alternatively you can also export the territories into a KML file and reimport this file in TheocBase.

The TheocBase SQLite database can be opened in a GIS software that allows users to analyze or combine the data with other sources e.g. create high quality maps for the Kingdom Hall. In the following instructions QGIS is used, a multi-platform GIS available for free, but other programs may be used similarly.
