## What is Areas?

**Areas** is the positioning workspace where you draw and edit **zones** and **points** directly on a store floor plan.
A zone is a polygon region on the plan, and a point is an OneS1ght-specific spot such as signage, a sampling table, or an endcap.
The zones and points you create are passed straight through (pass-through) to the GeoSpace (GCH) integration you enabled under [Positioning Data](/en/locator/positioning-data), and they become the execution targets for your analyses and policies.

## Layout

## Editing flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select store and floor">
    Choose the target store and floor at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit zones and points">
    Use the map tools to draw zones (polygons) and points, or use **✨ AI Layout Optimization** to auto-generate zones/points based on analysis.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map policies">
    In the right panel, edit the selected zone/point's name and type and link policy Actions. Operational policies registered under Analysis / Actions flow in here; auto-inferred targets are marked with ✨.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Press **💾 Save (N)** to apply your N local changes to GeoSpace in one batch.
  </Step>
