Turn a template-built page into a layout
The editors can rearrange a page that used to be one template.
Life cycle: Redesign, example 15 of 34. Worked out on the Fit & Healthy site of Exponential 6.0.15+.

In the Layouts editor
- Create a layout, link header and footer, add Template blocks with the part names and standard blocks for the simple parts; publish and map.
With templates
- Cut the template into parts that stand alone; save each as
explayouts/tpl_block/<name>.tplin your extension.
Which to choose
Move part by part; each step stays publishable.
