# Add a new layer below labels

This example uses the second argument of [`addLayer`](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/ja/api/map/#map#addlayer) to add a new layer in a precise place in the stack, below the [`symbol` layer](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/layers/#symbol) that contains labels.

The new [`fill` layer](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/layers/#fill) uses an external [`geojson` source](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/sources/#geojson) to add polygon features that are styled with a pink (`#f08`) [`fill-color`](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/layers/#paint-fill-fill-color).
