# Editing and customization

What you can change in an FM Shop map, such as textures and signs.

Some maps let you customize parts of the interior. What can be edited is decided **per product**.

## What can be edited

You can only edit **textures and logos where it is specified**. On the product page, the details box has an **Editable** row that lists what the map allows, for example:

| Editable value       | Meaning                      |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Signs**            | Sign artwork can be replaced |
| **Textures**         | Textures can be changed      |
| **Signs / Textures** | Both can be changed          |

If the **Editable** row is not shown, the map is not meant to be edited. Ask on [Discord](https://discord.gg/TZeRjWeFKQ) before changing any file.

## Good practice

* **Work on a copy** of the resource, and keep the original delivered folder untouched.
* Edit only the files mentioned on the product page.
* Keep the same file names and formats, so the game still finds the textures.
* Restart the resource after every change, and check the console.
* Back up your edits before replacing files with a new version of the product. See [Receiving your purchase](https://fm-shop.gitbook.io/fm-shop-docs/getting-started/receiving-your-purchase).

## Custom requests

If you need something that the map does not allow, ask us on Discord. We can tell you whether it is possible.

## Usage policy

We allow you to **edit the resources that allow it**, as described above, **only if you bought them legitimately**. We do **not** allow redistribution of any kind, and this includes edited versions. Read the full [Usage policy](https://fm-shop.gitbook.io/fm-shop-docs/products/usage-policy).
