The layout manager is used by designers to create any number of theme layouts which can be used throughout the wiki.
This panel appears on the left of the Layout Manager and shows the hierarchical list of all theme layouts defined in your wiki:
There's a lot more to this panel than meets the eye! Let's get started...

So, why do we have hierarchical layouts? Well, that's such an important feature of Theme Builder that it's got it's own page: Layout Hierarchy
If you haven't already done so, read that page otherwise you'll be freaked out when layouts are affected by settings in their parent layout!
You can restructure the layout hierarchy by simply dragging and dropping a layout on to another layout. Remember, that makes the layout inherit some or all settings from it's new parent and in doing so can make it look completely different.
