Layout for pages

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: When should I use Content Layouts and when should I use Template Layouts? Is there a list of all Content Layouts?

Solution: Use Content Layouts when each post has a different design. Use Template Layouts when you want to use the same general design for multiple posts. There is no list of all Content Layouts. A Content Layout can only be applied to one post, so it makes more sense to access Content Layouts from the post editor screen.

Hello,

I'am wondering where i can see the list of the single pages layout. I mean the layout that we update where we change from the page and not from the layout part.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure, but I think you are asking if there is a list of Content Layouts. There is no list of Content Layouts, because a Content Layout cannot be applied to more than one post. It is not possible to manage a Content Layout separately from the post. You can only access a Content Layout from the post editor screen.

And i'm wondering also, what is the best pratice between create layout for page in the layout part and after associate this page with the good layout or create one main layout and after update the page with layout incorporate in the main layout.
I'm not sure, but I think you are asking when to use Content Layouts and when to use Template Layouts. In general, Template Layouts give you the ability to create one design and apply that design to many different posts. Content Layouts are more useful when each post has a different design, and a single Template Layout is not possible. We have more documentation about these types of Layouts here:

If I have misunderstood the question, please provide some more details and I will try again.
