after a period of time, the task may auto-unlock, allowing
other mappers to lock and contribute.

### What is the custom ODK Collect app?

- ODK Collect is an excellent mobile application.
- We need a slightly modified functionality of the app, so have created
a custom version for you to use with FMTM.
- We maintain a good relationship with the ODK developers and would like
to get this functionality into the map app (meaning no custom app is required).
- However, this will take time!

### Why do I need the custom ODK Collect app?

- Ideally when we open ODK Collect, we want our feature / building to be
selected already, avoiding the need to open the map and select it manually.
- We created the custom ODK Collect for exactly this purpose!
- It also opens the possibility of more advanced map capabilities in FMTM,
such as navigation to your chosen feature and directions.
- Hopefully it provides a more seamless user experience of FMTM, that we
can't provide with the default Collect.

### How do I install the custom ODK Collect app?

- First, open the sidebar on FMTM and click the button to download the
custom ODK Collect `.apk` file.
- If you don't have ODK Collect installed already, then you should be able to
click this file and install as normal.
- If you already have ODK Collect installed, then you **may** have to uninstall
this version first, prior to installing the custom version. This is to avoid
version conflicts.
