Allows the user to copy an existing layout leaving the original intact.

Once the layout has been copied, you can then edit/design it by selecting the appropriate button from the Layouts list.

Deleting or Retiring Layouts
When you're finished with an old layout, you can optionally hide it in the Xibo Server (incase you want to reuse it at a later date) - we call this retiring a layout - or you can delete it completely.

Retiring a Layout



 * 1) Choose the Edit button next to the layout you want to retire in the Layouts screen.
 * 2) Select "Yes" from the Retired dropdown box.
 * 3) Click Save

The layout will disappear from the Layouts screen. Use the Filter options to show retired layouts if you want to view retired layouts. You can then edit a retired layout to un-retire it at a later date.

Deleting a Layout



 * 1) Choose the Delete button next to the layout you want to delete in the Layouts screen.
 * 2) Note that deleting a layout is irreversible so be very sure that you don't want the layout before you delete it.
 * 3) Press Yes to delete the Layout or No to cancel the deletion.
