    <thetext>&quot;dynamic layer&quot; is a concept that is discussed by the community (see google search[0]) but is not present in the documentation.
The documentation has the underlying variable: BBFILES_DYNAMIC[1] but a user searching for &quot;dynamic layer&quot; won&apos;t find it in the doc.

Maybe just a note in BBFILES_DYNAMIC section &quot;this direction pointed by BBFILES_DYNAMIC might be called a dynamic layer&quot;? Or a dedicated section outside of the variable glossary?
