How Page Templates Resolve Layouts
Understand how configured layout types map to design files and fallback to default templates.
Layout resolution strategy
When rendering pages, the system checks for configured design views first. If a view does not exist, it falls back to the default design for that section.
Resolution order
- Configured layout from CMS entity (menu/category/content/menu item)
- Corresponding design file under designs folders
- Default design file when specific layout is missing
This keeps publishing resilient even when custom layouts are still in progress.
