Layers

Once your data sources are connected to your map, as explained in this guide, you can use Builder to analyze and discover key insights from your location data. This guide describes how to work with map layers in CARTO Builder.

When opening a map, all added layers for the selected map appear in the left side panel.

Layers configuration

From the layer card you can access the following options:

• Zoom to : Zoom to the layer extent, taking into account any filtering applied in Widgets and/or Parameters when applicable.
• Show only this : Easily set this layer as the only one visible.
• Layer style : This functionality allows you to apply custom styling to your layer
• Duplicate layer : You can duplicate a layer to add it to the map with the same styling properties.
• Rename : Allows you to edit the name of your layer
• Delete : You can use this feature to delete your layer and its corresponding source.

Layers blending

Additionally, you can use the Layer Blending functionality to select the blending choice of your preference. There are three different ways to blend layers: Normal, Additive, and Subtractive.
