# Specialized Editor Views

The Overlays administrative area contains many specialized views that can be used to visualize the state of your project's layer list and very efficiently make changes to many layers at once. For example, you can use the **Download Settings** view to very quickly see and update which layers are available for users to download. You can access these views by accessing **View** from the menubar.

### Layer Z-Ordering

The Z-Order refers to how layers appear on top or beneath one another. Users of your project can reorder layers in the legend, but it can be helpful to specify a default ordering so that users don't have to adjust this setting while viewing layers on the map. Use the view menu to view the default order of your project's layers.&#x20;

To move a layer so that it appears on top of another one, simply drag and drop the desired layer toward the top of the list.

### Data Hosting Quota

Each SeaSketch project is allotted a limited amount of space for storing uploaded data layers. Using the treemap visualization in the view it is easy to determine which layers use the majority of a project's quota.

### Download Settings

Using the **Download Settings** view, you can quickly see what layers are accessible to users for download and control this option.

### Sharing Settings

This view enables administrators to very rapidly assess and update access control settings. Rather than accessing the editing sidebar for individual layers, can update settings from a popover menu.
