Hi!
I created a template and a layout. I was able to insert a template into the content of a page. Layouts I can’t seem to figure out. I can make a layout into a template but other than that, I don’t know how they are used. What is the advantage of using a layout vs a template?
Thanks!
Hello @kgpthemex,
Thanks for writing in!
You can use a template to create a page, post, or layout.
You can use the layout to display your posts, pages, blog index, category archive pages, tag archive pages, and other archive pages on your site.
To learn more about the Layout Builder, please check this out:
Single Layout
Archive Layout
Hope this helps.
Thank you for those details. The resources really helped. I do see the difference now.
Having said that, I’m still not a 100% clear on their application. I tried a scenario and the result was not entirely what I was expecting.
My Goal:
Create a single Layout that applies to a parent page and its children pages. The layout contains a navigation element.
Steps taken:

Questions:
I remembered from the Layout video you posted that there is a “The content” element. Adding that element allowed me to add individual content to each child pages while still benefitting from the layout. However, none of this seems to impact the Parent page itself.
Thank you for your help!
