Map Interface - Layer name

The layer's name, source and unit will all appear in the final map. The source is usually where the data or the geometry is coming from. It's considered a good thing to cite your sources. The name of the layer and the unit will appear in the Legend if the option is selected.

You can move a layer up and down, just drag and drop it.
