Share a Layer

You can share a layer you have customized and saved with other users. An email link to the layer will be sent to users you designate.

Tip: If you want to share a system layer you have modified, you can save a copy of the layer, and then it can be shared.

Note: Only layers appearing in the My Layers tab of the Layers window may be shared.

Other users will not be able to make changes to your layer.
