Layout Chooser

The Layout Chooser allows you to browse, preview and select Theme Builder layouts...

How do I get here?

If you want to choose a layout for a space, you'll need to be a Space Administrator for that space, or a Site Administrator. Go in to Space Admin and choose the Themes link from the navigation bar.

If you want to choose a layout for the site, you'll need to have Site Administrator privileges. Go in to the Administration Console, and select the Themes link from the navigation bar.

Select Theme Builder as the theme for the site/space and then click the "Configure Theme" link.

Choose which layout to preview

You'll see a list of available layouts in the "Choose Layout..." panel on the left - simply click on a layout to preview it in the tabs on the right.

If you have sufficient privileges you'll also see a link above the Layout Chooser which allows you to access the Layout Manager (the tool that is used to add and edit layouts) and possibly also a link for Theme Administration (Site Administrators only).

Overview Tab

This tab provides a quick overview of the layout, showing it's Layout ID, name and description:
