{{note| Note that these procedures are done outside of {{IMSMANG}}.The recommended maximum size of the background map is 2 GB. If you would need a clean background map then you may download it from '''[[Downloads]]'''.}}
All modifications to the {{IMSMANG}} background maps must be performed in an external GIS application such as [http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/ ArcMap 10.1].
#Copy all layers to a folder '''ouside''' the ''C:\IMSMAng'' folder.
#Change the .MXD file as needed. Example of editsnedits:
#*Set minimum and maximum display levels for each layer
#*Add, modify, and remove delete raster and vector layers
#*Change the map coordinate system
#*Create pyramids for raster layers
#*Change colours and styles
#*Add, modify, or remove delete labels from vector layers
#*Group and ungroup layers
#:Although an external GIS application allows you to make other changes to the map, the changes listed above are the ones that can be viewed with {{IMSMANG}}.
#Verify that '''all''' layers and the map frame has the same projection.#Save the .MXD file with a '''new''' name.Remember to use '''relative''' path to data sources in the map document (mxd).{{Warning| {{IMSMANG}} may '''only''' use mxd files that are created in 10.1 format. In ArcMap use '''''Save a copy''''' and choose ''ArcMap 10.1 and ArcMap 10.2 format''.}}
#Import the new .MXD file.
#Test the new .MXD with {{IMSMANG}} and evaluate performance.
#Share the new .MXD file and '''all''' layer files.
