# Blend and Rearrange Layers
**Rearrange layers by dragging and dropping them in the Layers panel. The layers at the top of the list will be displayed in the foreground of the map.**\
\
\
**Blend layers by selecting an option from the dropdown at the bottom of the Layers panel.**\
\
\
\
**There are three different ways to blend layers: Normal, Additive, and Subtractive.**\
## Normal Blending
Normal layer blending does not alter the color values of overlapping data points. 
## Additive Blending
Additive blending adds the color values for overlapping data points. It makes layers, and particularly areas of high density, easier to visualize on a dark-colored map. 
## Subtractive Blending
Subtractive layer blending does not alter the color values of overlapping data points.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.kepler.gl/docs/user-guides/b-kepler-gl-workflow/add-data-to-layers/d-blend-and-rearrange-layers.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
