When Archipelago validates your data, the platform will apply your changes. This can take up to 20 minutes.
Then, you can view information about the property you added using the sov, Dashboard, or Gallery views. Newly added properties will also appear in the Change Analysis under New properties.
After you add a property, you can upload documents related to it, such as Property Condition Assessments, Inspection Reports, and more.
