When do settings appear differently between services, layers and maps?
The following are examples of when configured settings may appear differently between services, layers, and maps: When sharing a point layer with labels as a web feature layer, the labeling settings will be saved to the web layer because labels are not supported by the service.
What does a layer file do in GIS?
A layer file primarily stores the symbology for a feature and other layer properties related to what is seen when the data is viewed in a GIS application. For example, if a layer file is sent to a user on another machine without the data it was created from, it does not display on the map because it does not contain the source data.
What is the difference between a shapefile and a layer file?
Answer. A shapefile is stored in a set of related files and contains one feature class.

In comparison to a shapefile, a layer file is a just a link\\reference to actual data, such as a shapefile, feature class, etc.
How are web layers shared from ArcGIS Pro?

Where are service settings stored in ArcGIS Pro?
Because these settings are stored with the layer instead of the service, you can have multiple layer items referencing the same service with different configurations. See the Configured settings section for more information on where these settings are stored. Web maps and web scenes are composed of web layers.
How does overwriting a feature service change order of layers?
After overwriting a feature service using an MXD where the order of the layers are changed, or another layer is added that changes the order of the layers, pop-ups for the feature layers in the web map are switched between the layers.
