Layer Repository

The Layer Repository is where you add or remove layers from your current workspace. It contains all the layers available to you, grouped into categories.

Opening the Layer Repository

Click the Add Layers button () in the layers panel toolbar, or right-click a layer and select Add new layers.

Repository Layout

The dialog has a dual-pane layout:

• Left pane — "Available Layers": Layers you can add to your workspace
• Right pane — "Workspace Layers": Layers currently in your workspace
• Centre buttons: Transfer layers between the two panes

Transferring Layers

• Select one or more layers (checkboxes) and click the right arrow () to add them to your workspace
• Select workspace layers and click the left arrow () to remove them
• Double-click a row to transfer it immediately

Filtering

Each pane has:

• A layer type filter dropdown to narrow by type
• A search field to filter by name
• A refresh button to reload the list
