Display the Layers list

Note:

Standard users can perform the basic functions of this workflow; you do not need to sign in to an ArcGIS account.

When you add data to a map, the data appears as one or more layers. To work with the layers in a map, you can display the Layers list to access a variety of tools. You can hide the Layers list at any time when you want a full view of the map.

See Layers to learn more about layers.

  1. From the Map tools, click the Layers button Layers to display the list.

    The Layers list appears on the map.

  2. To hide the list, click the Layers button again.
