    In CC3 I worry less about Layers than I do about Sheets. I almost don't even care about the Layers function anymore.

    The layers are still useful for the reason stated: to make more than one version of a map, in this case to make player handouts. For instance, you can have all your labels on one sheet, with a single set of effects applied to them, but the GM info is on one layer while the player info is on another, and the information shared between both is on a third. You could do it with three sheets, but that requires thrice the system resources to draw, not to mention having to set up the effects three times.

    Layers are nice for freezing things so they can't be accidentally selected or edited, for example. Like when making multipolies.
