If I need to change the name of a layer and I have 40 level layouts, I need to rename 40 layers. That's not ideal.

And it's not as simple as just clicking on the layout in the Project manager, I have to open each layout to do it.

It seems like it would be more consistent to at least also show the correct layers for the layout selected in the project manager, since clicking there already changes what properties you're seeing.

Better layer management is something C3 needs desperately. Something akin to selecting all layers on all layouts with the same name would be great (and then being able to edit them all at the same time). But you'd still have to add new layers on every single of your layouts whenever you want to add a new one. Some time ago i had to change layer effects and add layers on close to 100 layous which was an absolute nightmare of a time waste.
