Problem/Motivation

No built-in way to enable per-node Canvas layout editing, limiting flexibility for editors who need custom layouts per content item.

#3567225: Allow per-node override of Content Template via checkbox in node selector

The Canvas Override module enables per-node Canvas-based layout editing on the full content view mode for selected content types, similar to Layout Builder overrides.
#3582111: Initialize Canvas Override module

Proposed resolution

  • Add canvas_override module to the Varbase Content Base recipe.
  • Site admins can enable per-node Canvas layout editing per content type.
  • Editors can visually compose unique layouts per node using the Canvas editor.
  • Nodes fall back to the default Content Template when no override is set.
  • Opt-in per content type via content type settings.
  • Auto-provisions field_canvas_layout and configures displays.
  • Adds a "Canvas Override" tab on nodes for editing layouts. ( which shows in the "More actions" in the Navigation Top Bar)
  • Provides reset option to revert to default layout.
