+Webmaps show layers that are packaged with the project (loaded from project files) by default. These are usually GeoPackage or Shapefile layers, as well as background maps made available for [offline use](../../gis/settingup_background_map/#generating-xyz-mbtiles-raster-tiles-for-offline-use) (e.g. mbtiles, GeoTIFF).

+Layers requiring a network connection (e.g. PostgreSQL layers or online background maps) are excluded from the webmap by default due to potential performance and connectivity problems. However, certain network layers (such as satellite background map) can be added manually, read more in the [custom background maps](#add-custom-background-maps) section.
