Use a master layout
To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.
A master layout lets you apply one layout to multiple pages. This helps to ensure consistency across similar pages, such as those relating to products. Every page is assigned a master layout during the creation process. You can change which layout is applied to a page as needed.
You can import and export master layouts using the import/export functionality.
Changing the master layout can result in the loss of page components if the new layout doesn't have the same zones, and these components cannot be recovered.
