Swardcoast Map is hiding place names from players

I have a Swordcoast map that was loaded with my purchase of Tyranny of Dragons. When we first started the champaign in Oct 2020 the players could see the map including all the place names on the map. For some reason now the map they see is missing all the place names. But the map I see as the GM has the place names. I cannot seem to figure out what I did to change the view of map layer with names from the player view. Help!

Highlight all of the names you see, right mouse click, layer and set to map layer.  The GM is the only one who can see objects on the GM layer.

This has become practice, due to user request. Many GMs like to reveal place names only after they are "discovered" by the players. On most regional maps, where possible, Roll20 places labels on the GM layer. Just select the ones you want to reveal on the GM layer and do as Victor suggests. You might want to throw in a "Move to Front" command first, just in case the Z-Order messes up what's on top.
Perfect thanks Victor and Keith! Problem solved and I plan to use the method suggested by Keith.
