# Organizing Layers

The **Layers** section provides various tools to help organize the project’s layers, making it easier for end users to interact with the map in JMap applications.

Each **layer** and **layer group** also includes display controls, allowing you to manage what appears on the map.

**Specifically, you can**:

* Define the **display order** of layers on the map.
* Set the **layer order** in the **Layers** panel of **Studio** and **JMap NG**.
* **Focus** the map on a single layer by displaying it exclusively.
* Add **layer groups**.
* Remove a **layer** or a **layer group** from the project.
* Control the **visibility** of individual layers or groups on the map.
