Add a Layer

Giraffe has curated thousands of public data layers. Search the Layer Library to add one.

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

To start, click “+ Data layer” in the Layer Palette.

The add data layer button looks like a database icon with a plus sign

The layer library appears.

The layer library includes public layers (available to all Giraffe users) and private layers (available only to you, your teams, or your workspace).

Simply check the tick box next to a layer to add it to your current Project, Space, or Template. Tick as many as you would like to add.

Click "apply changes" to add the layers to your project.

If you get a "failed to fetch" error on a layer, it's likely due to your browser permissions settings.
