Directory of Entry Layout Types

1. Entry Layout Types

In the context of Entry Layouts, different types can be utilised to customise the presentation and organisation of content. These layout types include:

Layout Types: This type refers to the overall arrangement and structure of the entry layout. This type usually has no UI, and they display what’s inside them.
Tile Types: Tile types offer a specific style or format for displaying various types of content. These types usually have UI, such as a white “tile” background.
