Problem with if/and/or statement

Hello,

I am trying to build an if/and/or statement that does the following:

If record owner = "this role" and checkbox A is "true", then show this generate template button
or
If record owner = "not this role" and checkbox A is "not true", then also show this generate template button

Sample:
If([Record Owner]="HR Advisor" and ([HRBP Approval]="true"),[Save & Generate Template],
If([Record Owner]=NOT"HR Advisor" and ([HRBP Approval]="null"),[Save & Generate Template]))

So far, I am receiving syntax errors and have not been able to build the formula properly.  If anyone has any suggestions that would be super helpful.

Thank you!

    One big thing to keep in mind while writing formulas is to consider the 'type' of fields you are using.

    For example:
    Record Owner is a User field and needs to be evaluated to a user.
    Checkboxes are =true or =false, not ="true" or ="false"
    URL fields us the url or Null, not "null"
    Text fields use the "Text" or null with two quotes ""

    Your formula currently has a lot of mix matched types, thus the errors.

    What are the field types of all the fields AND values you are comparing?  Then we can get the syntax correct.
