Using the Catalog there are several ways to make use of layers:
- Select a layer and right click to bring up the context menu:
- Choose Add to New Map to create a map based on this layer
- Choose Add to Current Map to use this content with you current editor
Drag and drop layer or service information into the current Editor, or Projects view
