==Notes==
* The WFS is currently only available when a project is active in the [[editor]].
* The WFS url includes an [[Web_Interface#Authentication|authentication token]] which ties the validity of the url to a specific session. If the editing session is closed and reopen at a later time, the url will need to be renewed.
