Page Layouts for Standard Objects

All supported objects are delivered with a standard layout for their application user interface pages, called standard layouts. Standard layouts are the pristine model layouts that you can't edit.

However, you can:

• Duplicate standard layouts to create custom layouts, and then make your edits.

  The first custom layout for a page type is automatically named the default custom layout, but you can change the name.

• Edit custom layouts.

• Inactivate or deprecate custom layouts.

  You can't delete page layouts, but you can inactivate layouts by selecting an active layout on the Application Pages tab, and then clicking the Inactivate button. Filter the page layouts using the Layout Status drop-down.

  Note: The Inactivate button appears only when you select an active page layout. And, the Activate button appears only when you select an inactivated or deprecated layout.

  You can't inactivate the standard layouts that are automatically delivered for an object.
