Set layer transparency

You can configure the transparency of layers in the map. This allows you to see more or less of certain layers so that you can emphasize specific data.

Press the Show map contents button to display the Contents pane.
On the Contents pane, press the arrow to the right of the layer whose transparency you want to set.
Use the Transparency slider to specify the desired setting. A layer with 0 percent transparency has no transparency applied. A layer with 100 percent transparency is not visible in the map.
Tip:
You can also set the transparency by entering a value in the box beside the slider.
