Use the JSON editor

The CB provides two JSON editors — one for the whole configuration (on the Home tab) and one scoped to a single layer (a small orange {JSON} icon on the layer card). This exercise uses the per-layer editor to paste in a full set of World Cover categories.

1. Copy the following JSON to your clipboard:

   "categories": [
     { "color": "#006400", "label": "Tree cover", "value": 10 },
     { "color": "#ffbb22", "label": "Shrubland", "value": 20 },
     { "color": "#ffff4c", "label": "Grassland", "value": 30 },
     { "color": "#f096ff", "label": "Cropland", "value": 40 },
     { "color": "#ff0000", "label": "Built-up", "value": 50 },
     { "color": "#b4b4b4", "label": "Bare", "value": 60 },
     { "color": "#f0f0f0", "label": "Snow and ice", "value": 70 },
     { "color": "#0064c8", "label": "Permanent water bodies", "value": 80 },
     { "color": "#0096a0", "label": "Herbaceous wetland", "value": 90 },
     { "color": "#00cf75", "label": "Mangroves", "value": 95 },
     { "color": "#fae6a0", "label": "Moss and lichen", "value": 100 }
   ]
   

2. On your World Cover COG layer card, open the {JSON} editor.

3. Scroll down to the start of the categories section.

4. Use the collapse arrow to fold the existing categories array down to categories [ ], then delete from the opening [ to the closing ].

5. Paste in the JSON you copied. Apply changes and preview the layer.

Full-config JSON editor

The full-config JSON editor lives on its own JSON config tab and is useful for larger edits. See JSON config.
