The Layouts screen allows you to apply Simple Edit Layouts to root nodes and will override any Simple Edit Layouts that have been applied on the Layout Manager. This means, for example, that you can have different layouts for different Sites. For more information on creating Simple Edit Layouts and the Layout Manager, refer to the Simple Edits Layouts manual.

Add Layout

This section allows you to select which asset types you want to apply a Simple Edit Layout to.

The Add Layout section of the Layouts screen

Select the asset types from the list provided and click Commit. For example, if you have created a layout for the Standard Page, select Standard Page from the list and click Commit. Additional fields for that asset type will appear in the Edit Layouts section below. To select multiple asset types at once, click the More... button. An additional list will appear on the screen.
