Delete a Layer

  1. Open Dataset → Delete Layer… on the layer.
  2. The dialog lists everything that refers to the layer and will be cleaned up — the maps that show it, edit pages, and so on.
  3. Type the layer's name to confirm, and click Delete.

When a layer can't be deleted

If something else is built from the layer — another layer derived from it, mileage markers that depend on it, the layer emailed photos go into — the dialog says so and won't delete it. Remove or change that dependency first.

Getting it back

The layer's data isn't destroyed: it's moved to an archive alongside the atlas. Ask SCS if you need it restored. Let SCS know after deleting a layer so the change is kept with your atlas's permanent settings.

To empty a layer but keep it, use Dataset → Clear Layer instead.
