Understand the default layouts

A flag icon next to a layout name indicates the default layout instance for any given layout type. The default layout is used if no other layout is assigned based on the page contents.

This section applies to Storefront Classic only.

Opening the Layout tab displays overviews of the layout page types available in Commerce.

Note: Non-default layout instances may not be visible to shoppers with the exception of the Article, Product Details, and Collections layouts assigned to selected products, product types or collections. This is also dependent on the shopper’s chosen viewport.

Each time you clone a layout instance, you have the option to make that newly-cloned layout the default.
