In the Layouts editor #

1. Open a layout; the editor works in a draft.
2. Add and arrange blocks; the middle of the editor previews them.
3. Discard (it asks: Are you sure you want to discard your changes to the layout draft?) to throw it away, or Publish layout to keep it.

With templates #

1. A template prototype is a branch of your design extension on a test installation.

Which to choose #

The draft is the fastest prototype: no deploy, no code.

Check #

• ./console exp:layouts list --drafts shows no forgotten draft afterwards.
