    • The surface area of the site cannot be smaller than 50 square meters or larger than 10,000 square kilometers.

    • A site must have a minimum of 4 points to form a closed shape.

    • You can click on any point and drag it to change its location.

    • Clicking on any point reveals its coordinates.

    • Clicking on any point allows you to delete it. For multiple-point deletion, hold the Shift button on your keyboard and select the desired points.

    • Multiple sites can be drawn and saved simultaneously.
