# Cog Menu

The cog menu enables you to change the map itself, either by turning layers on and off or drawing on it. It is also where you can find information about the specific drawing or selected areas of the map.

By default the cog menu is expanded.

You can collapse the cog menu by clicking the 'x'. You can then expand it again by clicking the cog.
