Layouts and repeated sections
Combine components into a block you can use across several pages.
1. Group components
A layout is a group of components managed as a reusable block. Instead of repeatedly inserting the same combination, create navigation with spacing or a contact section with a footer once.
2. Edit the shared source
Layout content is always inherited. Editing its source therefore affects every place that uses it. This simplifies maintenance, but requires checking the impact before publication.
3. Nest another layout
Layouts can be nested. Create a basic footer and insert it into an extended layout with a form and spacing. Update shared contact details in the basic footer rather than every variation.
4. Check its uses
Use clear names and a reasonable number of levels. After editing, check both the simple and extended versions on mobile too. Inheritance should make the source of content easier to understand.
