Aligning a layer means, for example, that you align an uploaded floor plan to an overview map that was created while uploading a SCENE or Stream project.

For more information on adding, editing and deleting layers, see Add, Edit or Delete Layers in Existing Projects.

You need at least the Project Editor role to align layers.
