![](https://web-assets.waze.com/discuss/prod/original/3X/6/2/62166199fd54ad4edebc66d1f34b5d66b2aaf2a5.png) Different things you do with Waze – driving, reporting, editing the map – will earn you different amounts of points. You can get more points either by driving more or by updating the map for [areas](https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/editable-area/374739 "Editable area") where you already drive. The _Editor level_ is only depending on the edits you make, not your points from driving. All Items on the map are [locked](https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/locks/374807 "Locks"). You can modify items upto your own lock level, but can always ask for a down lock, so you’re able to perform the update you wanted to do. It is possible to request the next editor level before reaching a certain amount of edits. In the BeLux it is difficult to reach the amount of edits necessary for automatic promotion to the next levels. Starting at **L1** you reach automatically **L2** after 3000 edits and **L3** after 25000 edits or on request. Higher levels only by request / assignment. The editor level is shown above the Feed in the [Waze Map Editor](https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/waze-map-editor/375070 "Waze Map Editor"). See the picture above. More on editor ranking see the [Community Levels](https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/community-levels/374716 "Community Levels") page.
