Hi there The Documentation article on the Spatial Anchors says: " The Spaces application allows you to localize your Magic Leap into a space and **to create anchors within "maps" of that space**." But I couldn't find how to create anchors in the Spaces App. Trigger and bumper doesn't do anything neither while scanning, nor when saved and localized in the map. Where I'm wrong? Thanks ---

Thank you for your post @maks. Let me look into this and I'll report back asap. ---

Thank you for reporting this. This information must have slipped through the cracks when we were updating the documentation. You are correct, anchor’s can no longer be created inside the spaces app. Users can view all of the created anchors inside the spaces app. However, it does not allow users to create anchors. Developers can create anchors inside their applications so they can be used as a reference point across multiple sessions. ---

Can I have two apps for the workflow of positioning object based on achors? As in, the first app creates the anchors(as given in the example projects) and the second app can directly place objects by looking for the anchors with their Unique IDs? ---

Closing out this thread. Lets move the conversation to the post you created earlier so we don't resurrect an old topic: > [@Saving spatial anchors and using on another app](https://forum.magicleap.cloud/t/saving-spatial-anchors-and-using-on-another-app/4468/2): > > Is this a duplicate of the following post? Anchors created by the Unity and Unreal example project are created and can be "published" which saves the anchors to the space. They can later be queried using the Spatial Anchor Storage API. You can also visualize the saved anchors inside the Spaces app , by selecting the 3 dots next to the space and selecting View. A think white line will point to the origin of each anchor. No, you can create spatial anchors inside Unreal and Unity. Please see t… ---
