Layer

Timeline mode uses a period window around each benchmark year. New in period shows foundations/events from that era; Active in period shows long-duration layers crossing the period; accumulated mode shows everything up to the selected benchmark.

Performance: heavy boundary polygons and modern settlements are hidden from “All atlas layers”. Choose Historical borders, Modern borders, or Modern settlements when you need those layers.
