Use the Measure Distance and Area Tools

In the Right Panel, within a purple box, you'll find two measurement tools for Area and Length. When activated, the selected tool is highlighted with a green outline, indicating it is ready for use. To deactivate, simply click the tool again, which will also remove any displayed graphics.

Summary of Video

Each measurement tool captures a single measurement at a time. To take a new measurement, just reactivate the tool. For measuring paths or areas, begin by activating the tool, then click your starting point on the map. Continue clicking to set additional nodes along your path or area.

To complete the measurement, double-click on the final point. The measurement dynamically updates with each node until you finish, allowing you to adjust as needed. Units of measurement can be modified either before or after completing the measurement for maximum flexibility.
