### Style and Style Editor

Style is the attribute collection of the map object, which can be extracted, saved and reused. We can apply and create the style of topic, boundary, relationship, and map. Working with the style editor, we can also design the style and preview it at the same time.

To Apply Style:

1. Select the object(s).
2. Open Properties View.
3. Click one exisitng style to apply.

Note:

- The selected object can be a topic, boundary, relationship, or map.
- Each object can only have one style applied to it at a time
- You can select multiple objects and apply the same style to all of them.
