Update point location with Collector for ArcGIS using device gps

Good Day,

Is there a way to update the location of an exciting point in Collector using the device gps ?

I have a point layer in a offline collector map, I need to update the locations using the gps without changing the attributes. Taping the screen to move the point compromises the accuracy of the data. I could capture the points again but will have to redo the attributes.

Any advice or suggestions ?

Kind Regards

Stephan-

You'll want to select the point feature you want to update, then tap edit. While editing, tap the Current location button, which will update the location to use your device's current GPS location (provided that it falls within the required accuracy.
