Where are render layers in 2.8?

Question

this all looks very interesting and significant, but as i am doing this on both 2.79 and 2.80, can you tell me what has happened to the render layers in 2.80? i realise that the 20 layer system has gone from 2.80 and has been replaced by Collections, but presumably we still have access to these very useful rendering parameters in some new way?

thx, julian

jjuliandarley I just spent a few minutes trying to figure it out in 2.8 and I cannot. I know "Render Layers" from 2.7x are now remade and somewhat exist as "View Layers" in 2.8. But how the functionality from 2.7x is maintained/emulated I don't know..

You may find the answer from here:

I believe that view layers are the way to go. You can add a new view layer in the upper right corner of blender 2.8. In the scene hierarchy you can set visibility for each item (or collection) in your scene for the currently active view layer. Each view layer should show up as a different pass in a render result.
