We're having a problem understanding the three action version of heal.
"You disperse positive energy in a 30-foot aura. This has the same effect as the two-action version, but it targets all living and undead creatures in the burst and reduces the amount of healing or damage to your spellcasting ability modifier."
How much does the AOE heal/harm? Can it be heightened? By how much? What's the total healed if i cast this as a level 2 spell?
As i read it now if i cast it at level 1 i heal my ability modifier (4), but if i heightened it i get 4 × the number of slots i heighten it? Or to i get 2d8+4?
It heals your Ability modifier at level 1, then when heightened it increases by 1d8 per spell level, as specified by the heightened section in its entry:
Heightened (+1) The amount of healing or damage increases by 1d8, or by 2d8 if you’re using the 1- or 2-action version to heal the living.
Since you're not using the 1 or 2 action version, you use the first part in the entry, namely "The amount of healing [...] increases by 1d8" for each level it's heightened above first.

Perfect! Thanks!
Also curious, I am pretty sure I rad that you can use the 3 actions in a round with multiples of different spell thematics. Say S,V,S etc..
So if you have the healing hands feat, could you use it twice if you did a single action cast. S,V,V and gain an extra 2d8 dice on the heal ?
No, because healing hands is a free action triggered by starting to cast heal/harm to heal, and only one free action can happen on a single trigger.
