Pro tip: I used a layer mask wrong for a year and it changed my whole workflow
I was painting out a background in a portrait last week and kept getting these jagged edges, no matter how soft my brush was. Turns out I had the layer mask selected but was painting with black on the actual image layer the whole time... I watched a tutorial from 'Procreate Folks' on YouTube and they pointed it out in like two seconds. Felt pretty silly, but now my selections are way cleaner. Anyone have a good trick for keeping track of what layer you're actually on?

Oh man, that is such a classic move. We've all been there, painting on the wrong layer for way too long. Honestly, I just zoom in super close now to double-check the layer highlight.

Hah, that's a relief to hear from @paige514. I once spent an hour trying to erase something before realizing I was on the locked background layer the whole time.
