Publishing Layers

 

Layers can be published or not published. A layer must be published to be accessible to the users. A layer that is not published is not part of the project and in no way can users see it or access it.

When a new layer is created, it is not published by default. This allows you to do further configuration tasks on the layer before making it available for the users. For example, it is important to configure visibility thresholds appropriately according to the scale before the layer can be seen by users.

After layer creation, you must press the Publish button in the layer's detail section. A layer icon marked with a red X indicates that the layer is not published.

Unpublishing an existing layer can be useful to make it unavailable to the users without actually deleting it.
