If i understand : content layout is for a page for example... And Template Layout can be applicate on what you want...

As a consequence, if i create a content layout for a page, and delete the page... I loose the layout created, is that correct ?
And if i apply a Template Layout to a page and after remove the page, i keep safe the layout created, is that correct ?

If what i said is correct, i created a content layout in a page on my website, and i want to move this layout to become a Template Layout, how can i do that plz ?

thx a lot

Hi there

Yes, your understanding is correct.

If you want to use the same design of a Content Layout in a Template Layout you can do so with the following steps:

- Edit your Content Layout
- Click the small button marked in red on my screenshot
- Highlight all of the JSON content that is shown in the pop-up dialog and copy
- Edit the Template Layout where you want to use this design (or make a new Template Layout)
- Use the same Layout Storage button
- Highlight all of the JSON content that is shown and delete it
- Paste the JSON content you copied earlier
- Accept the warnings and save

Note that you must delete the old JSON content before pasting the new, it doesn't seem to work if you try to paste directly over the old content.
