Page Styles

Use the Page Styles page to manage page styles for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page). More

Page styles describe the layout of a newly created page and may also dictate the type of content the page supports. More

Only users with the application-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Page Styles can manage shared page styles. Users with the portal-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Assets (simple permissions model) or Create, Edit, and Delete Page Styles (detailed permissions model) can manage portal-level page styles.
