I’m in custom 4.15.1. Wondering if there’s a way to delete a layer I created or if there’s a way to view all the layers in a list because I will likely have many different layers and I don’t want to have to disable world composition and set it all up again if I want to change the streaming distance from say 5000 to 2500 for optimization. I’m using a world builder and I have hundreds of map levels so I want to be able to manipulate the layers if I can. Bueller… Ferris Bueller… ---

“Layers cannot be deleted or edited, so if you would like to change streaming distance settings, create a new layer with your desired settings and assign levels to it. Layers which have no assigned levels will be deleted automatically the next time you open a level.”. According to official documentation. ---
