Leads can contain one or more parcels, allowing you to track multi-property opportunities or assemblages. Managing the properties within a lead is straightforward and fully tracked.

## Adding Parcels to a Lead

### During Lead Creation

1. Select one or more parcels on the map
2. Click **Create Lead**
3. Selected parcels are automatically included
4. Review parcel count and total acreage in the dialog

### After Lead Creation

1. Open the lead detail view
2. Navigate to the **Properties** section
3. Click **Add Parcel**
4. Search or select parcels from the map
5. Confirm to add the parcel

## Viewing Parcel Details

Click on any parcel within a lead to view:

* Full address and location
* Parcel ID and legal description
* Acreage and dimensions
* Owner information from public records
* All available data layers for that parcel
* Coordinates (latitude/longitude)

## Removing Parcels

1. Open the lead detail view
2. Find the parcel in the **Properties** section
3. Click the remove button (or right-click for options)
4. Confirm removal

Removing a parcel doesn't delete it from Ploti—it only removes the association with this lead.

## Multi-Parcel Leads

Multi-parcel leads are useful for:

* **Assemblages** - Combining adjacent parcels for development
* **Portfolio deals** - Multiple properties in a single transaction
* **Phased acquisitions** - Tracking related properties you plan to acquire over time

The lead automatically calculates:

* **Total Parcels** - Count of associated properties
* **Total Acreage** - Sum of all parcel acreage

## Activity Tracking

All parcel changes are tracked in the lead's activity feed:

* **Parcel Added** - Shows parcel ID and address
* **Parcel Removed** - Shows parcel ID and address

This creates a complete history of how the lead's property composition has changed over time.

## Viewing Leads on the Map

Parcels that are part of a lead are visually indicated on the map, making it easy to see which properties you're already tracking.

## Viewing Leads for a Parcel

You can also work in the other direction:

1. Click on any parcel on the map
2. View the **Leads** section to see all leads containing this parcel
3. Click to navigate directly to any associated lead

This is helpful when researching a property to see if it's already being tracked.
