Manage Layout Templates

Rename, share, and retire the panel-arrangement templates your team reuses across projects and spaces.

Standardize how your team's canvas is arranged.

A layout is a saved arrangement of Giraffe's panels, like Map, Layers, Properties, and Analytics, shown as a named, colored tab you switch between while you work. When someone saves one as a template, it becomes available to reuse across your workspace. To save one, right-click a layout tab and choose Save to My Layouts. The Layout Templates page is where those saved templates live.

Your layout templates

Each row shows the template's name, its color, its scope, and your access: You are admin, You can edit, or You can view. Scope is whether it applies to projects or to spaces. Use the All, Project, and Space filters to narrow the list.

Drag rows to reorder your templates. My Layouts in the + menu next to the layout tabs uses the same order.

Managing a template

If you administer a template, its row shows a Share icon. Right-click the row for these actions:

  • Rename: give it a new name. You can also double-click the row to rename it.

  • Color: change its tab color.

  • Share: share it with a user, a team, or your workspace.

  • Delete: remove it. You'll be warned that it disappears for everyone it's shared with.

If you don't administer a template, these actions are hidden. Ask whoever shared it with you to make changes.
