Recently I noticed that all layouts had activated unwanted layers. Not knowing what had caused the problem, I reverted to a recent copy of the model. It has happened again, and I now know the trigger. I made a minor change to the model, and wanted to print some of the layout pages. Normally, I would save the model, then activate all layers in any of the 4 working views, then print the required layout pages, then close the model without saving so that only the working layers are active. The problem arose when I forgot the save step. In order to save the minor changes without all layers being active, I used Ctrl Z to undo the activation of all layers, then saved, then reactivated all layers. At that stage, all layouts had unwanted layers active.
On the matter of layouts, something that is annoying is that when a new layer is created, it becomes active in all layouts. That requires manual adjustment of every layout. Is there a setting to override this behaviour?
