I am new to QGIS, still very much learning how to use it.
What I wish to do is generate a number of similar vector layers, to be
able to generate slightly different maps from them. The obvious way
would seem to be to duplicate an existing layer, renaming the new
copy, and editing it. But this seems not to produce a new, distinct
layer, as making changes to either the original or the new layer
causes the same changes in both.
I can find no mention of this facility in the user guide nor in the
training documentation. Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Adrian,
Depends how similar you mean by similar.
If the map geometry is the same but you just want to render the maps
differently, take a look at the "style" options. There are some very
power features for rendering according to field contents, etc.
HTH,
Zoltan
