App Layout Templates

App layout templates define how the elements of your app are distributed in visual areas or regions within a screen, while adapting to the size of the device. These templates are created globally, which means that you can assign them to site views and then apply them to different apps or modules in Studio.

The Application Layout Templates page shows the list of layout templates available in your Studio environment, and allows you to create new layout templates in Studio or edit existing ones and import and export them. To access this page, click Style > App Layout Templates. Refer to the annotated image below to learn more.
