Fix a field that was drawn or uploaded in the wrong place or the wrong shape. You can move the whole field, reshape it by dragging its points, remove a stray point, cut a hole in it, or replace its shape with a file.
Edits change the field's boundary for the selected growing season only — the field's master boundary stays as it was. See How field boundaries work across growing seasons. To remove a field entirely, see Delete a field.

Open the field for editing
- On the Home map, select the field.
- In the field pane, select Edit field.
Each section below starts from here.
Move a field
- Double-click the field boundary.
- Drag from anywhere inside the boundary to the field's correct location.
- Select Save.
Reshape a field
- Double-click the field boundary. Its points appear, with a small midpoint between each pair.
- Drag a point to move it. Drag a midpoint to turn it into a new point — new midpoints appear on either side, so you can follow an irregular edge closely.
- Select Save.
Delete a point
- Double-click the field boundary.
- Select the point to remove. A white outline shows it's selected.
- Select Delete in the upper-right corner.
- Select Save.
Cut a hole in a field
- Select Add polygon.
- Draw the area to remove, inside the field.
- For another hole, select an empty spot on the map outside the boundary, then select Add polygon again.
- Select Save.
Replace a boundary with a file
- Drag a file into the edit pane, or select the upload box to browse to it.
- Check the new shape on the map.
- Select Save.
The file must:
- Be a shapefile, KML or KMZ, or GeoTIFF file.
- Hold one field only. A field with more than one piece is fine.
- Contain polygons only — no lines or points.
- Contain no zones.
- Have a boundary that doesn't cross itself.
If the upload still fails, see Shape won't upload or save: geometry errors.
