Heads up: My entire project got messed up by a simple layer mistake

I was finishing a big architectural draft and messed up my layer groups. When I sent the file to print, key details like windows and doors were gone. It took me hours to redo and I nearly missed the client review. Please review your layer setup before you save and send. Have you ever lost work like this?

Layer management is the worst kind of digital archaeology.

Ever find more buried layers like @taragibson did?

Oh, that hits close to home! I once archived a digital painting with all the sketch layers still visible and the final lines turned off. Found out years later when I tried to reuse the file for a print. What a mess to untangle.
