Configuration of Layout Discovery and Panelizer [#2875981]

I made a fresh install of Lighning 2.1.2 recently and I have noticed that the Panels-, Panelizer- and Layout-Discovery modules are activated from the start. Strange enough, I don’t find a way to configure them in the backend.

Did I miss something?

Hi Thomas. None of those modules provide a traditional configuration page, and Layout Discovery is strictly an API module. They are used to accomplish Lightning's Layout user stories. Specifically:

When I create a one-off page I want to be able to add blocks and position them for just that page so both the layout and the content are unique
When I edit a content type, I want to set a default layout that suits the fields in that type so my content type layouts vary in a way that makes them quickly identifiable.
When I create content I want to be able to choose a layout for just one post, so I can use layout to visually emphasize something unique about the content.
When I create a one-off page, I want to be able to choose a layout for just that page so that I'm not locked into a pre-defined template.

You can see demonstrations of those user stories here: http://lightning.acquia.com/blog/lightning-user-stories-demonstrations

Was there anything in particular you thought you should be able to do but couldn't?

Hi Adam. Thank you for the clarification and for the link to the user stories.
In between I found out how to panelize a content type: /admin/structure/types/manage/new_content_type/display.
