Compare

Compare two layers on a Felt map with a swipe divider, such as before-and-after imagery.

Compare splits the map with a divider that you drag across it. You choose which layers appear on the left, on the right, or on both sides, such as last year's imagery on one side and this year's on the other, then swipe to see what changed. Anyone who can open the map can use Compare in view or edit mode. Compare isn't available in embeds.

Compare two layers with a swipe

1. Right-click the map and click Compare. A divider appears down the middle of the map, and the Compare panel opens.

2. In the Compare panel, next to each layer or layer group, click Left of the divider, Both sides, or Right of the divider.

3. Drag the divider across the map to swipe between the two sides.

By default, the top layer or group in the legend appears on the right, and the next one appears on the left. All other layers and the basemap appear on both sides. A layer that's turned off in the legend doesn't show on either side.

To end the comparison, click Stop comparing at the top of the Compare panel.
