Using Workshop Maps
If you want to use a custom map from the Steam Workshop:

Browse the Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod and find your desired map.
Add the Map to Your Workshop Collection
Follow the Install Addons guide to add the map's Workshop ID to your server.
Set the Map Name
In Startup, set the Map field to the map's BSP name (not the Workshop name). You can usually find this in the map's Workshop description.
Restart Your Server
Restart to load the new map.
💡 Tip: You can change the map in-game using RCON or the admin console with the command
