Each Layer in your project appears as a row or line item in the Layer Palette. To adjust the visibility, mouse over the layer.

The visibility controls appear.

  1. Layer name

  2. Show Data Table (vector data layers only)

  3. Adjust Opacity %

  4. Turn off / on

Adjust Opacity

To adjust opacity, use the +/- buttons, type a number (between 1-100), or click and drag within the box to scrub.

To make a layer more transparent, reduce the percentage.

To make layers more opaque, increase the percentage.

Adjust Visibility

Click the eyeball to instantly show or hide a layer.

When a layer is hidden, it displays in grey in the Layer Tree and the data is not shown on the map.

Changing layer opacity and visibility is not automatically saved.

To save layer visibility and groups, click the save icon to make the current that the project default.

This allows for co-authoring. Users my turn layers on and off in a working state without affecting other editors.
