Create a theme layout

The built-in Theme - Paligo Default layout publishes with Paligo Base and its default settings. To use a custom theme, or to set theme options or branding, create a layout of your own with the THEME output format. To create one:

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.
