# Orchard Core Layers - Prompt Templates

## Configuring Layers for Conditional Widget Display

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate configuration and code for managing layers and conditional widget visibility in Orchard Core.

### Guidelines

- Layers are provided by the `OrchardCore.Layers` module and control when widgets are displayed in theme zones.
- A Layer has a name, description, and one or more **conditions** (rules) that determine when its widgets are visible.
- Widgets placed in a zone must be associated with a Layer; the widget renders only when the Layer's rules evaluate to `true`.
- Layers are managed from **Design > Widgets** in the admin panel.
- Available zones are configured in **Design > Settings > Zones** and must match theme layout sections.
- Conditions can be combined using `All` (AND) and `Any` (OR) condition groups.
