<h3>Coordinate Reference System Selector</h3>
2+
3+
<p>
4+
The Coordinate Reference System Selector allows you to set the projection for
5+
the current layer.
6+
</p>
7+
<p>
8+
You can find a coordinate system by entering its name, EPSG code or the QGIS ID
9+
and clicking the <label>Find</label> button. The list of recently used
10+
coordinate systems will be available on the bottom for quick access.
11+
</p>
12+
<p>
13+
When operating across layers, for example, computing intersections between
14+
two layers, it is important that both layers have the same CRS. To change the
15+
projection of an existing layer, it is insufficient to simply change the CRS
16+
in that layer's properties. Instead you must save the layer as a new layer,
17+
and choose the desired CRS for the new layer.
