You may want to manage your DITA maps in a variety of ways, such as:
- Change the order and nesting of topics in a map.
- Add or remove topics from the map.
- Add keys to the topics in the map.
- Add profiling (conditions) to the items in the map.

- By showing the extended DITA Maps Manager toolbar (press the
settings icon

number of ways. Some ways to remove a topic from a map include:

You can add keys to topics in a map by right-clicking an item in the map and choosing Edit Properties.
Profiling Sections of a Map
You can profile (make conditional) any section of a map by adding one or more profiling attributes to the topics in a map. In the hierarchical structure of a map, any profiling applied to a topic that has children applies to those children as well. You cannot include a child topic if its parent topic is excluded.
