Changing Layer Stacking Order and Opacity
You can change how your layers display in the viewport by adjusting their stacking order and opacity. Stacking order affects layer visibility because layers that appear higher in the order show on top of layers that are lower in the order. Likewise, opacity affects layer visibility because when a layer is more transparent (i.e., less opaque), it allows more of an image or the basemap to show through the layer.
Do either of the following:
Change Stacking Order In the Layers panel, drag layers up or down to rearrange them. Layers at the top of the pane are higher in the stacking order, while layers at the bottom of the pane are lower in the stacking order.
To move a layer to the top of the stacking order, do the following:
Next to any layer, select the menu
, then select Move to Top.
Change Opacity Adjust any layer's opacity using the Opacity slider.
Opacity is not preserved across sessions.
