Layouts

Use the Layouts page to create and manage layouts for pages and page styles for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page). More

Layouts can be applied to new or existing pages or page styles. WebCenter Portal provides several built-in layouts.
