Style Header Border
Use the Page header table cell border setting to add a visible border to the header. The borders can be useful when you are setting up your header and you need to see the cell boundaries so that you can better judge the cell widths.
Note
The header will appear on every page and may appear as a line on the front cover. This is because the front cover header does not show the header text and so has a forced block height of 0
.

Select Layout in the top menu.

Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.

You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.
