[Qgis-user] layers not displayed in the layer window

[Mike Flannigan]

I found mention of the Layer Styling Panel in the docs:
https://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/general_tools.html#layer-styling-panel

I have not figured out how to open it yet.  I suspect
it has been replaced by the Style Manager:
Settings - Style Manager

But that is speculation.

About 10% down this page:
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_raster/raster_properties.html?highlight=layer%20styling%20panel
is "Live update rendering" that is also a bit
confusing to me:

I am on Linux ver 3.14.0.
