Layouts

The Layouts Library is a browsable set of seeded page layouts and reusable components used by the Add Page flow. It lives under Settings > Layouts, organized into System Layouts, Custom Layouts, and Page Components.

Layouts Library, listing System Layouts and Page Components

Name Description
System Layouts Starter page shells seeded by the CMS -- Base Template, Homepage Template, Sectional Template, and Content Template today, with more added over time. Read-only; use them directly or copy one to start from.
Custom Layouts Reusable layouts saved from real pages, tracked here as they're used through the layout library flow. Empty until a page has saved one.
Page Components Smaller, section-level building blocks (hero banners, promo tiles, overview grids) meant to be dropped into a layout's body regions rather than used as a full page shell on their own.
