# Applying a layout template to the page

Liferay provides you with a number of default layout templates that allow you to establish the layout of the pages in your Discovery Framework application.

Layout templates specify the way components are organized on each individual page. For example, you can select a layout with two horizontal columns of different widths on one page, and one with a banner and two equally-wide columns on another.

To change the layout of a page:

1. Click the page tab, so that you go to the page.
2. From the Dock menu, go to Layout Template.

3. In the Layout window, select a layout option.

4. Click Save. The new layout is applied to the page, with any existing components organized accordingly.

Note: If the default layout templates supplied by Liferay do not meet your needs, your developer can create custom layout template plugins for you, and your system administrator can make them available to your application.
