Streamlined UI?

Hi @mortona2k,

When you have either of these two options enabled for a content type, you get an option to access the Layout right from the content admin section (/admin/content):

• Use Layout Builder
• Allow each content item to have its layout customized.

Here's what that looks like:

It also simplifies the UI when you're adding blocks in Layout builder.

Here's what that looks like:

I hope this helps and the images load for you.

They're loading for me under the project description, bit there used to be more of them, so I fixed the language to refer to the last two instead of four images.

Closing this out as completed, since it has been open without any further responses for many months.

The project description was also updated to clarify after this issue was opened to add more clarity.

Ok thank you. There is also Layout Builder Operation Link that provides that layout operation in the content listing.

It might be helpful to link to the core issue on that project page to let people know what's being considered: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3368656 ✨ Add 'Layout' Operation Link to entities Needs work

This also says it enhances the block entry in layout builder. I see the title field and checkbox in the images, but it's not clear what the difference is. Could you add something about the use case please?

Hi @mortona2k,

Thanks for the additional feedback.

That's a newer project that focuses just on that functionality. It looks like it was created 14 Sep 2022 vs. 11 Mar 2021 for this project.

I added the information about the core issue toward the bottom of the description for this project, since that's good to know, and it's now right after the part of the description that talks about that functionality.

This also says it enhances the block entry in layout builder. I see the title field and checkbox in the images, but it's not clear what the difference is. Could you add something about the use case please?

The reason for this is that the screenshots showed what the module is doing vs. doing a comparison. They showed what it looked like in core Layout Builder and also in a modal when Layout Builder Modal (which is recommended) is installed.

I understand how that can be confusing. In the past, there was more information (and images) in the description, but it was a little unwieldy, because at the time, I didn't realize that files could be used instead of images. So I reverted back to that older version and then cleaned up those screenshots a bit. I may need to update the screenshots for D10, since I took those in D9.

In any case, for right now, I reverted the page back to an earlier version and then cleaned up the images a bit. Hopefully that will help clarify things a bit, but let me know if you're still seeing anything confusing. You'll probably appreciate the before/after for the blocks.

Great that's more clear, thank you. The second feature improves the forms in a way I think should be in core as well. I haven't seen a specific issue for it, but there are ones for optionally creating reusable blocks that might affect this part of the UI.
