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 sites, notes, viewports, default settings, and SEO information.

To do so:

  1. Open the Design page and click the Layout tab.

  2. Navigate to the layout you want to clone by either searching by name, or filtering by layout, site, or viewport.

  3. Highlight the layout overview, and click the Clone Layout option from the configuration toolbar.

    The New Layout dialog screen is displayed.

  4. Enter the newly cloned layout’s name and any related notes. Refer to Customize your store layouts 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. Note also that 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.

  5. (Optional) Configure the new layout with one of the following checkbox options:

    You can enable these settings when designing a set of layouts for your anonymous and registered shoppers, and another set for your account-based shoppers, as described in the Create Page Layouts that Support Different Types of Shoppers chapter.

  6. Enter all other settings, such as, the preferred Site, Viewport, Page Title, Page Address, Cart Preview, Layout Preview, and any new metadata tag information.

  7. Click Save to confirm all settings. You can preview your newly cloned layout by clicking the Layout Preview icon.
