Making a Layout Template

You can only add layout templates to a palette.

Create the layout component and style it as required. This can be a simple field or made up of multiple components. Save it.

In the repository, find the component and right-click. Select Copy as a template.

PhixFlow opens a copy, this time with the option Advanced → Template ticked.

Open the Basic Settings section of the new layout template, and change the name.

Save.
