<p>On WikiVet Content Maps already exist and there is no requirement for  a new Content Map. However the existing Content Map is often out of date and needs to be updated. Rather than creating a whole new Content Map it is better to download the files associated with the Content Map that needs updating and simply modify the existing Content Map.  This page will detail how to do this but assumes a level of competency with steps [[Help:Creating a Content Map|1]], [[Help:Using Content Map Converter|2]] and [[Help:Uploading a Content Map|3]] for creating Content Maps.</p>
