CMS layouts
Last updated 7 November 2026
Layouts control the design and structure of your pages. They act as templates that wrap your page content with consistent headers, footers, and navigation, so you can update the design in one place and have it apply across your application.
Editing a Layout
To edit a layout:
- Select CMS on the main menu.
- Choose Layouts.
- Choose the layout you want to update and click on its Edit row action link.
- Make your changes and select Save.
Duplicating a Layout
To duplicate a layout:
- Select CMS on the main menu.
- Choose Layouts.
- Choose the layout you want to duplicate and click on its Edit row action link.
- Select Duplicate at the bottom of the form, then select Duplicate Layout on the confirmation. Insites creates the copy straight away and returns to the Layouts list.
Notes:
- Duplicating a layout creates a new copy of the layout you are editing. The layout path is appended with '_copy' to indicate that it is a duplicate layout. The copied layout's path can still be updated.
- Duplicated layouts are saved automatically. The copy also has ' Copy' added to its name. Edit the copy to change its name or path.
