# Focusing the Map on a Layer
When many layers are visible in a project, the map can become difficult to read.
**Focus mode** allows you to view one layer at a time without having to manually disable the display of other layers. You can thus configure the layer without interference from other layers.
When this mode is activated, only the selected layer is displayed on the map. You can easily switch between layers to visualize, then deactivate Focus mode to return to the normal display.
**To use Focus mode:**
1. Click 
**Focus mode** to activate the function.
2. Click the name of the layer you want to view alone. The layer configuration panel opens and the map displays only that layer.
3. Press the back arrow to return to the **Layers** panel. The map displays all active layers again, but Focus mode remains active.
4. Click another layer to view it alone.
5. To deactivate Focus mode, click in the layer configuration panel. The map returns to the standard display, showing all active layers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.jmapcloud.io/en/jmap-cloud-portal/user-guide-for-jmap-cloud-portal/configuring-project-data/organizing-project-layers/focusing-the-map-on-a-layer.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
