2025-05-08 - BY Wanderer Team

Learn about the new instant signature deletion flow, real-time updates, and the ability to undo removals in Wanderer maps.

Introduction

Managing cosmic signatures is a core part of mapping and navigation in EVE Online. With our latest update, signature deletion is now instant, real-time, and reversible—making it easier than ever to keep your map up to date and error-free.

This guide covers the new signature deletion flow, how to use the undo feature, and what happens behind the scenes to keep your map clean and synchronized for all users.

1. The New User Flow: Instant, Real-Time, Reversible

  • Delete a signature: When you remove a signature, it disappears from your map (and all other users’ maps) instantly after a server roundtrip.
  • Undo: If you make a mistake, you have a window of up to 30s to undo the deletion

2. How to Use the New Signature Deletion Flow

  1. Select and Delete:

    • Open the system signatures widget.
    • Select one or more signatures and click delete (or paste and use lazy delete).
    • The signatures will disappear for all users viewing the same system.

  2. Undo a Deletion:

    • After deleting, an Undo button appears for you (the user who deleted the signature) and remains visible based on your timeout settings.
    • Click Undo to restore the removed signatures instantly for all users.
    • If you don’t click Undo in time, the deletion becomes permanent

  3. Real-Time Updates:

    • All users see signature changes (add, update, remove, undo) in real time—no need to refresh.

4. FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: Who sees the Undo button?

  • Only the user who deleted the signature sees the Undo button

Q: Do all users see the same signature list in real time?

  • Yes! All changes are broadcast instantly to everyone viewing the same map.

Q: Can I configure the undo timeout?

  • Yes, in the user inteface settings for the signatures widget

Q: What about performance?

  • The new flow is optimized for real-time collaboration and efficient cleanup, ensuring your map stays fast and accurate.

5. Summary

The new signature deletion flow brings instant, real-time updates and a safety net for accidental removals. Enjoy a more collaborative, error-resistant mapping experience—now live for all Wanderer users!
