# Layer Settings

Layer settings allow you to define many options associated with map layers in JMap. The layer settings management window is accessed from the layer management window. It can also be accessed by double-clicking on the name of a layer.

All default settings have been set by the JMap administrator but you can modify these according to your preferences.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Layer setting changes are made locally and will be lost at the end of your session unless saved within a map context (see [Map Contexts](/e/applications/jmap-pro-user-guide/tools/collaboration-tools/map-contexts.md) for more information).
