| Now that the Editor has added the new layer you can see all the different sales regions, and by using our identify feature you can view the data. In our next tutorial, we will style this layer and add class breaks. You can now save the project and head to our next lesson. | Now that the Editor has added the new layer you can see all the different sales regions, and by using our identify feature you can view the data.
