Slide Layers Vs Slides

I don't personally have any hard and fast rules or best practices for use of Slides vs Layers other than using the features and drawbacks of slides to make the determination:

• Slides can show in the menu, layers won't
• Object states are controllable and persistent within a slide but require trigger assemblies when traveling between them
• Layers are really handy for fluid build-up over time but can be hard to manage in large stacks

I think of Slides as "macro" and Layers as "micro" when constructing a story. It's nice to see that Macro logic in the story view. When constructing an interaction that I want to flow together smoothly, I keep it on a single slide with layers. It mostly comes down to what you're most comfortable with.
