Renaming a layer
Layers that you add to the map can be renamed using the Configure Layers panel. When you first add a layer, the layer name is determined by the layer data source. When you change the layer name in the Configure Layers panel, only the display name of the layer is changed; the name in the underlying data is not affected.

You cannot remove or change the position of the basemap. It can, however, be renamed.
To rename a layer, complete the following steps:
- Open the Configure Layers panel.
- Select the layer to be renamed:
- Click the layer name or right-click the layer and click Rename. The layer name text becomes editable.
- Type the new layer name and press Enter or click outside the text area to change the layer name:
