Backend layouts shipped by theme Camino
=======================================

Camino comes with three different backend layouts to choose from:

..  contents::

To change the backend layout used on a page:

*   Select the page you wish to change: :guilabel:`Content > Layout > My Page`
*   Then select the :guilabel:`Page Properties > Appearance > Backend Layout (this page only)`

You can also specify the default backend layout used on newly created child pages
by using :guilabel:`Backend Layout (subpages of this page)`

..  hint::

    Take care that every sub-page of your page tree needs to have a backend layout
    assigned, either via the `(this page only)` or `(subpages of this page)`
    directive. Otherwise, opening a page in the frontend without an assigned
    layout will show an error page.

..  _start-page:

"Camino: Start page"
====================

The start page backend layout is ideal for a homepage. It contains sections to add
a banner/ header, regular content and content for the footer.

    "Camino: Start page" backend layout: The start pages main content can be added in the "Content area".

..  _global-footer:

Global footer
-------------

Any content that is added to the footer of the root page will persist and be
visible on every other page when viewed in the frontend.

For example, if a "Social Media" content element is added to the footer section,
it will be visible in the footer of every page in the frontend.

To add content to the footer, use the `Start Page` backend layout on the root
page of your site.

..  _content-page-full-width:

"Camino: Content page (full-width)"
===================================

The backend layout :guilabel:`Camino: Content page (full-width)` contains a
single content area where typical page elements such as text and images can be
added.

    "Camino: Content page (full-width)" backend layout: Contains a single content area

..  _content-page-with-sidebar:

"Camino: Content page (with sidebar)"
=====================================

Content Page - With Sidebar contains two columns, with the sidebar section being
used to add meta information such as the page author and text teasers.
