By default, you must add a sheet to your project upon project creation. However, you can import further sheets via the Import button in the Sphere XG Viewer.
You can also decide if you want to import a sheet as a new area based on the sheet or as an additional layer in the same area
-
A project may have more than one area. An area contains layers and 360° photos.

A layer is a concept in Sphere XG describing the fact that you can overlay and align sheets, overview maps and uploaded floor plans. In the views setting toolbar, you can select which layer you want to see.

Differences between Importing as Area or Layer
If you import the sheet as area, a new node 
is created in the project structure view. You can move an area within the project structure view by simply dragging and dropping the area to the position you want.
In the Layers form, the new area and the imported sheet are displayed.

If you import the sheet as layer, the sheet is added to the current area of the project, i.e. under the node of the current area. In the Layers form, the imported sheet is displayed as layer. The functionality is the same as described in Add, Edit or Delete Layers in Existing Projects.
