Pick the app you're using
The web app and the mobile app don't always work the same way, so each has its own instructions.
In the toolbar, click Layers.
The Layers panel opens on the right.
Open a category, such as Due Diligence or Zoning.
Its layers are listed underneath.
Click a layer's switch to turn it on.
Click it again to turn it off.
To find a layer quickly, type its name in the Filter layers... box at the top of the panel.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you start
Locked layers
Some layers need a paid plan, and on the free plan layers only show inside your chosen county. A locked layer shows a lock or an upgrade badge instead of a switch.
