Layers

Layers keep your tactical work organised. Group symbols by phase, unit, or scenario, lock and hide layers as you build, and combine them into a single MilX file you can save locally, send to a colleague, or pin behind a share link. Edit, import, export, and share — the four moves every overlay needs.

Manage MilX Overlays: Create, Edit, and Organise Layers

Create, rename, reorder, and delete MilX overlays in map.army; move symbols between layers, set working or approved status, and manage session persistence.

How to export and save MilX overlays

Save one or more MilX tactical layers as a .milxlyz file to your device or prepare them for sharing with other map.army users.
