Hello Editors!
It's time for the monthly Editors Community Newsletter!
Thank you for all your contributions and enjoy the FULL VERSION below :)

What’s new on WME?
Following the latest redesign for WME, alerts on the left side panel take up more space than they did before. Our dear community members asked to save space by being able to dismiss the alerts, and we heard their feedback! We’re happy to share that you can now dismiss alerts and even Show More! Thanks for the great suggestion!
New Livemap QR Code Generator Launched
We’re excited to announce that you can now share any LiveMap location through a QR code! This is especially helpful when looking to share a location in printed form, like in an invitation to an event - anyone can scan the QR code and get a route on Waze! Thanks to the NA community for this fantastic idea!
So Many Amazing Meetups!
November was an especially busy month, bringing Community members across the world together. We had Waze Cafes in Hungary, North America, Colombia, Moldova, AND Portugal. Canada and Spain also hosted their own local Meetups, while APAC hosted a mini-regional. To top it all off, Brazil and Latin America also hosted Mega Meetups! It was great to see everyone!
Woohoo! The New Wazeopedia is Live!
It’s finally time - the Revamped Wazeopedia is live! This offers a better user experience and performance while making it easier than ever to add and organize content! Revamp your local wiki here, and learn more about how to edit it by watching the recording of this Advanced Editing Masterclass.
The Partner Forum is Open!
Do you ever feel like your local Department of Transportation could do more to update the Waze map? Want to collaborate with your local authority and use Waze tools to support drivers? The Partner forum is the place for you! We invite you to join the new Partner forum to discover how you can expand your local impact by Collaborating with Waze Partners!

The French Community Improves their Local Map!
Community members hosted a Mini Map-Raid in Northern France, where they grouped together to improve and polish their local map! Thanks to everyone who took part. Reach out to your community leader to run a Map-Raid with your community!
Italian Community In the News
