I’m looking into creating a project for an event, but I don’t know if the locations is already part of a defined place. If I search by the place name it’s showing nothing, but maybe it’s part of another place I could use, instead of creating another one. Is there a way to tell?

Go to explore, map - find the location and hit the ‘places of interest’ tab to see previously created places. [1000008259]

@sc_beetles and @thomaseverest Thank you both - exactly what I needed to know!

Is there a way to find out which 'places' a particular location is part of?

If you find an observation in the area of interest with open geoprivacy, you can see and open all the encompassing places as well.
