I am using natural earth for qgis 3.0. I have rule based layers for 10m_admin_0m_maps_unit to show only a certain number of countries in my Caribbean map. That now looks perfect when I am in the qgis, but when I switch to the layout view to build my map, the layers are gone.
I have looked for some tutorials and saw that I should do the following
click layer properties, then under rendering, select show all labels for this layer (including colliding labels).
I have done this and refreshed my layout (the map is not locked), but the labels still do not appear.
I see that I can manually add the country names, but is there a way to get the selected names of this layer to show up on the layout map?

Finally figured it out. I didn't realise that although I had selected show all labels, 'scale dependent visibility' was selected and as a result, my labels were not visible in layout. After unselecting and refreshing the view, the country names appeared.
