Delete a Layout

If you have a custom layout that you no longer use, you can delete it from your Paligo instance. Once it is deleted, it is unavailable to Paligo users and so you will need to publish with one of the built-in layouts or one of your other custom layouts.

To delete a layout:

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

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

    Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.

  2. In the list, find the layout that you want to delete and select its option menu (...).

  3. Select Delete and then if you are sure you want to remove it, select Confirm.

Cannot Delete a Layout

If Paligo will not allow you to delete a layout, it is most likely because the layout is a base layout. This means that other layouts rely on it for their default settings.

All layouts are associated with a base layout. You cannot delete a base layout until all of those associations are removed.

For example, let's say you have an "ACME PDF 1" layout. You then create an "ACME PDF 2" layout and base it on "ACME PDF 1". The two layouts now have a relationship. If you try to delete "ACME PDF 1", Paligo will reject the deletion, as "ACME PDF 2" relies on "ACME PDF 1". To delete "ACME PDF 1" you must first delete "ACME PDF 2" so the relationship and dependency is gone.
