Content Type → Layout
What is Content Type → Layout?
Content Type → Layout defines which layout a dynamic data collection should use when rendered on the frontend. By mapping a content type (collection) to a layout, you ensure that all pages driven by that collection are rendered using the correct layout structure.
This mapping applies to Dynamic Data collections. Make sure the layout you want to assign has already been set up in the Layouts module.
