Layouts: Save and Reuse Page Section Configurations
Layouts let you save a page's section configuration as a reusable template that can be applied to other pages. Instead of manually recreating the same section arrangement across multiple pages, you can save a layout once and apply it wherever you need it.
Layouts are a beta feature available after opting into the new Customizer experience from your account settings.
Saving a Layout
You can save any page's sections as a reusable layout from the Customizer.
- Open the Customizer and navigate to the page you want to save as a layout.
- Click the page menu (three dots) in the Customizer sidebar.
- Select Save as layout.
- Enter a name for your layout.
- Optionally upload a preview image to help identify the layout later.
- Select or deselect which sections to include in the layout.
- Reorder sections via drag-and-drop if needed.
- Click Save.
Template-type sections are excluded from layouts. Only local and linked sections can be saved as part of a layout.
Managing Layouts
You can view and manage all your saved layouts from the Customizer.
- Open the Customizer and click the page menu (three dots) in the sidebar.
- Select Manage layouts.
- Browse your saved layouts, displayed as cards with preview images.
Each layout card provides the following actions (via the card menu):
- View details — See the sections included in the layout.
- Apply layout — Apply the layout to the current page (see Applying a Layout).
- Edit layout details — Rename the layout or change its preview image.
- Reset with current content — Update the layout to match the current page's section configuration.
- Delete layout — Permanently remove the layout.
Applying a Layout
You can apply a saved layout to any page to quickly set up its sections.
- Open the Customizer and navigate to the target page.
- Click the page menu (three dots) and select Manage layouts.
- Find the layout you want to apply, open its card menu, and select Apply layout.
- Choose an application mode:
- Replace — Removes all existing local and linked sections on the page and replaces them with the layout's sections. Template-type sections are preserved.
- Add — Keeps all existing sections and adds the layout's sections. Choose to add them at the end (default) or beginning of the page.
- Review the options and confirm.
When a layout is applied, local sections are copied as independent sections on the target page — edits to these sections will not affect the original layout or other pages. Linked sections remain shared — any edits to a linked section will be reflected everywhere it appears.
Layouts vs Templates
Both layouts and templates help you structure page content, but they serve different purposes.
| Layouts | Section Templates | |
|---|---|---|
| Created in | Customizer, from an existing page's sections | Admin, under Sections > Templates |
| Scope | Applied per page on demand | Assigned to a page type and shared across all pages using that template |
| Content updates | Sections are copied at the time of application — changes do not sync back to the layout | Edits to a template section propagate to all pages using the template (unless overridden per page) |
| Best for | Quickly replicating a page's section arrangement across other pages | Maintaining a consistent set of sections across all pages of a given type |
