Delete Layouts

Remove a layout tab, revert a layout to its preset, or reset all your layouts.

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Clear out layout tabs you don't use, or put one back the way it started.

Deleting a tab only removes it from this project. To delete a layout you saved to My Layouts, manage it from Home.

Delete a single layout

  1. Right-click the tab.

  2. Choose Delete, then confirm in the Delete layout? dialog.

You always need at least one layout, so Delete is unavailable if it's the only tab left.

Revert a layout to its preset

Undo the changes you made to a layout and put it back the way it started.

  1. Right-click the layout tab in the top bar.

  2. Choose Revert to [preset name].

The layout's panels, name, and color go back to how the Giraffe Preset or My Layout set them up.

Revert finds the matching Giraffe Preset or My Layout by name only. A layout you renamed can't be reverted this way.

To keep your changes and get a fresh copy as well, add the preset again as a new layout. To bring back your project's template layouts, click + next to the layout tabs and choose Revert to template layout.

Reset everything

The Add Layout (+) menu has a separate Reset to defaults, which replaces every layout in the current project or space with the starter set. Giraffe asks Reset layouts to defaults? before it goes ahead.

🚨 Warning: This replaces every tab at once. It can't be undone, so use it deliberately.
