 Aggregations group your documents into buckets and calculate metrics for each bucket.
 Your documents stay in Elasticsearch and only the metrics for each group are returned to your computer.
 
+Use aggregated layers with document layers to show aggregated views when the map shows larger
+amounts of the globe and individual documents when the map shows smaller regions.
+
+In the following example, the Grid aggregation layer is only visible when the map is at zoom levels 0 through 5. The Documents layer is only visible when the map is at zoom levels 4 through 24.
+See the <<maps-add-elasticsearch-layer, Getting started>> tutorial for more details on configuring the layers.
