### Search a Map

### ![search-bar](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/search-bar.png?width=271&name=search-bar.png)

You can search a map by entering the characters of a **Title** or **Keywords** in the **Search** text box. The corresponding list will be displayed dynamically.![map-gallery-search-results](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/map-gallery-search-results.png?width=688&name=map-gallery-search-results.png)

### Add a New Map

There are two ways to add a new map:

- Add a map output folder to the **CartoVista Server**.
- Publish a map window from the **CartoVista Publisher**.

ℹ️    Adding a map is only available to Map Creators and Administrators (see [user roles](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/the-different-user-roles-in-cartovista-server?hsLang=en) for more information).

Add a Map Output Folder to the CartoVista Server

Click **Add Map**, then browse your computer to the ZIP file that contains the output folder of a map. You can also drag and drop the ZIP file in the upload window.
