Create a layout template based on existing template
To create a template based on other template:
- In the main menu of your website’s backend, click Design » Page Templates.
- Click Create a Template.
- In Name input field, enter a name for your template.
- Select Use template and click Select another Template.
- From the window, which appears, click a template, which will serve as basis for your new template.
- Click Done.
- Click Create this template.
Your new template opens in the Layout editor, where you can divide and reorder the blocks as you desire.
NOTE: Rules for nested templates:
- Changes of a template are applied to its child template.
- You cannot edit the parent template while editing the child template.
- If you delete a template all of its child templates and all pages that uses this template will be deleted.
RECOMMENDATION: When you create a nested page template, based on a layout file, we recommend that you select the MVC only option, as there may be potential issues in Web forms or hybrid modes.
