Creating Layout overrides
This documentation needs work. See "Help improve this page" in the sidebar.
This page assumes familiarity with the Layout Default concepts in Creating Layout Defaults.
Layout Overrides in Layout Builder
Layout Defaults are layouts that apply to all nodes/entities of a given content type/bundle. Layout Overrides make it possible to override the Layout Default and create a custom layout for that entity. Once a Layout is overridden on an entity, that entity will not be impacted by changes to Layout Defaults.
Layout Overrides are not enabled by default. When you enable Layout Builder for a content type/bundle in the default view mode, an additional option is available: "Allow each content item to have its layout customized." Selecting this option will enable Layout Overrides for that content type/bundle.
When layout overrides are enabled for a content type, the local tasks for nodes of that type will include a "Layout" tab, where Layout Overrides can be created and edited.
Examples
Creating a Layout Override for an Article Node.
Clicking the "Layout" local task will take you to the Layout Builder user interface (UI). Any changes made on this layout will only impact the specific node. Once the Layout Override is saved, the node will no longer be impacted by changes to the Layout Defaults for its content type.
The "Discard changes" button will discard all in-progress changes in the override and replace with the layout of the most-recently-saved version of the Layout Override.
The "Revert to defaults" button removes the override, reverting the node to use the Layout Defaults.
