Layers & filters

Layers let you group everything on a world map — pins, regions, paths, text, and images — so you can show or hide whole groups at once. Filters are a quicker, personal way to hide feature types just for your own view while you work.

Work with layers

Open the Layers button in the toolbar:

1. Click the + to add a layer. New features you draw land on the active layer.

2. Set the active layer with the radio button beside its name.

3. Show or hide a layer with the checkbox at the end of its row.

4. Open a layer’s ⋯ (options) menu to Rename or Delete it.

The Mask overlay checkbox at the top of the popover turns your fog cover on or off — see Masks & reveal.

Put a feature on a layer

Each tool’s panel has a Select Layer button. Open it, and under Layer choose which layer this feature belongs to — that also makes it the active layer for whatever you draw next.

Reveal a layer to your players

In a live room only, every layer row gains an eye toggle:

• Hidden from players — click to reveal shows the whole layer to your table.
• Visible to players — click to hide takes it back.

Great for keeping a “secrets” layer dark until the moment you want it seen.

Filter your own view

Open the Filters button for a quick tidy-up while you work. Untick any of Pins, Regions, Text, Images, or Paths to hide that type.

Note

Filters only change what you see — they don’t hide anything from your players and nothing is removed. To control what the table sees, use a layer’s visibility or Visible to players.
