Various options available when cloning a channel layout the most important of which is the level.

Just like Pages, templates can be created from channel layouts. This allows a user to make a new or modified version of the layout without modifying the original. These templates can then be edited and cloned back into channels for later use. Every clone creates a new copy of the channel layout. To clone a channel layout:

  1. Navigate to the "Channel Layout" or "Channel Layout Template" section
  2. Select and view the channel layout to be cloned.
  3. Click the "Clone" button
  4. (optional) Modify the name/description to be used with the new channel layout
  5. Select the destination level. This will be either a template on the account level or another channel.
  6. Select the layout clone options.
    • Just like the template options in the layout editor choose which elements from the channel layout should be preserved.
  7. Click "Save" to finish the clone.
