There are 5 states that a vendor can apply to a map. Each has its own purpose and effect on the status of a map.

1. For Sale: The map is available for sale in the Map Store.

2. Prepare: The map and/or map details page is being edited. The map will not appear in the Map Store. This state is the default for new maps and is also necessary to change many of the product listing information fields. Maps must be submitted for review before they can be added to the Map Store.

3. In Review: The map is being reviewed by our Map Review team and can be added to the Map Store once approved. Once the Map Review team approves the map, it will move to either For Sale or On Hold, however, if the map is rejected it will move back to Prepare along with the reasons for the rejection.

4. On Hold: By default, maps that are approved by the Map Review team move to For Sale. However, if you want to control the release time for your map, you can request that it move to On Hold first. When you are ready to place the map For Sale in the store, you can release it from On-Hold.

5. Archived: The map has been removed from the Map Store and only users who have previously purchased this map will be able to download it. When Archiving a map, you will be required to provide a reason why the map is being removed from the Map Store for our records.

Getting maps on the Map Store is a simple three-step process:
 
1. Upload your Map: Click the "Add a New Map" button. As a new vendor without any maps, this button will appear in the middle of the page. If you already have a map uploaded, the button will instead be at the top-right of your map list.
 
2. Edit the Map Details: After the map is uploaded, the map details page will load. This is the product listing information displayed to users in the Map Store. 
 
3. Submit for Review: Once the map has been successfully processed and the product details have been populated and saved, it can be submitted for review. A map can be submitted by clicking the button on the right of the map details page, or by selecting it on the Maps page and selecting "Submit for Review" from the menu at the top of the page.

Our Map Store team looks at every map submitted to Avenza Maps, including all their associated product listing information. Large volumes of submissions may occasionally extend the time frame in which our team is able to review maps, so please allow 1-2 business days for the review process to be completed. If there is an urgent rush for your map, please email mapreviews@avenza.com. If a map is being submitted with a price that you have never charged for a map before, allow another 5-10 business days as this price point must be approved beforehand by Apple. This additional waiting period is only necessary once per price point. Any subsequent maps submitted at the same price will not have to undergo Apple’s approval process.
 
Once you have submitted your map for review, you’re finished! Once the map has been approved it will automatically become for sale in the Map Store!
