You can create a new layout instance by cloning an existing layout instance; this makes a copy of the original. When creating the newly cloned layout you can configure settings such as notes, viewports, default settings, and SEO information.
To do so:
Open the Layout tab, expand the Select Layout drop down menu and choose the layout you want to clone.
Click to open the preferred layout instance of your chosen layout.
Click the Clone Layout option from the configuration toolbar.
The New Layout dialog screen is displayed.
Enter the newly cloned layout’s name and any related notes. Refer to Configure layout settings for details about the configuration settings specific to each layout.
Note: Within the Collections layout you can assign the newly cloned layout to a collection. Collections represent groups of products which have similar properties, such as, women’s dresses or men’s shoes. Also within the Product layout you can assign the newly cloned layout to a product type or product.
To select a collection, product type, or product begin by typing or pasting some text in the relevant text box within the Layout Assignment section. The filter matches letters or numbers that you type, wherever they appear in the name, not just at the beginning. Usually, as you type more characters, there are fewer matches. You can assign a layout to more than one collection.
You can preview your newly cloned layout in the Layout Preview section.
Enter all other settings such as, Page Title, Page Address, Cart Preview, Layout Preview, and any new metadata tag information.
Click Save to confirm all settings.
