# Adding or updating source files
|
||||
|
||||
If the files are in GeoJSON format you can drop them straight in.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a Shapefile, for example from the [ONS Open Geography Portal](https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/), you need to convert it:
|
||||
- download the .zip from the portal
|
||||
- extract it, giving you a folder with a few files in
|
||||
- go to https://mapshaper.org
|
||||
- drag all the files in the folder into mapshaper
|
||||
- click ‘import’
|
||||
- you should see a rendering of the shapes
|
||||
- click ‘console’ (top right)
|
||||
- run this command: `mapshaper -proj wgs84`
|
||||
- click ‘export’ (top right)
|
||||
- choose ‘GeoJSON’
|
||||
- click the button
|
||||
- done
