Overview and Example Exercise

This chapter is divided into two parts, each of which will elaborate on the work you began in Chapter 1. Part I will teach you how to copy a project, which will allow us to build on progress in the previous chapter and not have to start from scratch. It is a similar process to the one used to share your QGIS project, which we discussed in Chapter 1. It teaches data management practices that will enhance the future compatibility and collaboration of your projects.

Part II will teach you more ways to tweak the appearance of your map in order to better present the data you began to map in Chapter 1, in which we tracked deforestation on PEI. At the end of Part II, you will also learn how to reuse the styles that you will have created.
