What is panels in Drupal 8?
Panels is a part of the larger layout/scotch ecosystem, and works best with the following modules:
- ctools (panels beta1 requires 8.x-3.0-alpha21)
- layout_plugin (panels beta1 requires 8.x-1.0-alpha22)
- page manager (not required, but needed to do anything useful at this point)
- panelizer (not required, still in early development)
Panels 8.x, the module itself, handles the storage format and frontend interface for admins (via IPE). Modules such as panelizer and page manager manage where panels configurations are stored and provide contexts to variants like panels.
In Beta, panels now has the underlying architecture and should be (more or less) backwards compatible between versions. Until RC, no guarantees of this. To see the full roadmap, look here:
