Layers
The Layers tab enables you to create, edit, and delete layers. Layers
provide a way to group sets of related manual chart updates, see Create
Chart Update. Groupings may be made based on different criteria such as
geographic region, time period, navigational mode, or danger

Chart updates can also be imported or exported based on their layer
grouping, see Importing/Export.
