Adding a page using page layouts

When a new page is added, it will use the layout that is currently selected in the layout list on the insert toolbar. This enables authors that are creating multiple similar content pages to create their layout once, and then begin each page with that same layout to ensure consistency.

To add a page using a page layout:

In the Title Explorer, select the chapter, section, or page to which you want to add the page and click the Properties ribbon. Alternatively, double-click the chapter, section, or page to display the corresponding Properties ribbon.
In the Page Layout group, click Apply and a select a page layout on the pull-down list.

The page is added using the layout you selected.
