With the Layout Builder feature allowing for evermore creative and complex page layouts, the total number of blocks used increases, and sometimes it's challenging to locate which one is used where, especially if there's a lot of scrolling involved. Learn how to easily swap your view to make finding a specific block easier.
The Web Workers group, hosted by Strategic Communications, has posted the video sessions from its quarterly meeting on August 16th. As the majority of them focus on our new Layout Builder feature, we encourage you to check them out.
With the advent of Layout Builder as a means of creating easy, robust, well-designed pages, it understandable users will immediately look to how to use this for their site's homepage. But, as you'll quickly discover, the homepage provided out-of-the-box doesn't permit the use of Layout Builder since it's not a "regular" page; it solely relies on global blocks to build its content. The good news is that this is an easy change and only requires the person to have the Site Manager role to accomplish it.
We're thrilled to present the biggest step forward in SiteFarm's feature-rich offerings since we launched the service in 2016. New layout builder system, new blocks, new styles now all at your fingertips.

Regions Override, available from the upper right corner of your admin panel on all page types or under Edit » Additional Options » Page Layout panel, gives you the ability to strip out pre-configured page regions on a page-by-page basis. Removing certain regions can be beneficial especially if using Layout Builder or wishing to take advantage of all available space when presenting output from a View, all without having to implement any subtheming to achieve the same effect.
As mentioned in the comparison of Layout Builder in-line blocks versus global blocks, the in-line blocks also differ in that you deal with the block's configuration directly on the page through its own unique submenu.
In the screenshot shown to the right, you can see that, once the pen icon has been clicked, a submenu specific to in-line block displays showing the available options.
