Experiment with layer controls

The Layer controls section of a layer card toggles the interactive controls the Explorer shows for that layer.

  1. Edit your AGB layer card and scroll down to the Layer controls section.
  2. Toggle a few of the controls on or off:
  3. Zoom to
  4. Opacity slider
  5. Blend mode
  6. Download
  7. Constraint slider

    Leave the Temporal controls alone for now — we'll come back to those in Part 4. 3. Save the layer card and open GE Preview to see the controls appear in the Explorer.

Download links

For Download, you can either paste the COG URL from the previous exercise (which will trigger a direct download) or a link to somewhere more useful — for example the dataset's STAC record on the PRR.
