Currently, the forked project is successfully deployed on Heroku, and the database is initialized. In this phase, we will guide you through the steps to customize the project and publish it online.

* Access the map:
* **Method 1:** On your Heroku dashboard, go to the `Settings` tab and find the URL under the `Domains` section. This URL serves as the direct link to your map. Additionally, you can access the map by clicking the `View` button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. The URL follows a format like https://your-app-name.herokuapp-random-token.com/. For example, you can access the demo map using the URL https://participatory-mapping-70cdde6a8df5.herokuapp.com.

Additionally, you can access the map by clicking the `View` button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. The URL follows a format like https://your-app-name.herokuapp-random-token.com/. For example, you can access the demo map using the URL [https://participatory-mapping-70cdde6a8df5.herokuapp.com](https://pmap-28a9a9408e2b.herokuapp.com/).
* **Method 2:** If you find the Heroku URL lengthy and difficult to remember (due to the random token), you have another option. You can access your map through your-account-name.github.io. To do this, visit your GitHub repository page, navigate to `Settings`, and scroll down to the `GitHub Pages` section under the `General` tab. Here, you will find the URL for your map. Please ensure that your web map is built and deployed using the `docs` folder in the main branch. It is worth noting that, in the file `src/app.js`, please add the `https://your-account-name.github.io` (`your-account-name` in the url should be replaced by your actual account name) to the `origin` property of the `corsOptions` variable. By doing so, the data changes between heroku and `your-account-name.github.io` will be granted. This edit should be done in your forked repository, if you turn on the `automatic deploys` function, this corsOption will be immediately applied.Now, your map will be appropriately accessible via the URL https://your-account-name.github.io/your-repository-name/. For example, the demo map can be accessed through the URL https://jakobzhao.github.io/participatory-mapping/.
* **Method 3:** If you wish to customize the domain name further, you have options available. Please refer to the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/about-custom-domains-and-github-pages) for more details. for detailed instructions on customizing the domain name. Alternatively, you can customize the domain through Heroku. For more information, consult the [Heroku documentation](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains).

However, the complexity of the tutorial implies that this process is best suited for those with a foundational understanding of the technologies involved. The tutorial may be overwhelming for those without a background in these technologies or novice users. Furthermore, the cost of Heroku services could also be a limiting factor for some.
Despite some limitations, with careful execution and continuous enhancements, it can serve as an empowering platform that truly reflects the lived experiences of communities. As digital geographers continue to explore this field, we can expect to see more diverse and inclusive mapping projects that capture the myriad ways in which we relate to and experience our environment.
