Step 5 — Auto-Save & Restart
The control panel automatically saves the new map as soon as you select it. Once finished, simply start your server again.

Optional: If you’re switching from a heavily-modified or custom map, you may need to delete the previous map files via FTP to ensure a clean world load.
