Using Layouts to Design Pages

Layouts are predesigned pages composed of empty image frames, shapes, backgrounds and text. They are available under the Layouts tab in the page editor in collections.

Editors-in-Chief may also save pages as layouts and built custom layouts. Learn more about creating custom layouts in this Book Management article.

The Memento Layout Collection 
Layouts are completely editable - change the background, font attributes, frame shape and border, etc. as you like. Copy & paste existing elements on your page to add additional frames. You can try out  layouts on your page until you find the right one for you. 

The Layouts tab displays separate collections for interior pages and covers, designed to fit the page size.

Did you know that Memento's Layouts collections can be filtered to only show the collections you want in your book? Learn more here.

Access the Layouts tab in the page editor to locate a collection of your choice. Click into a collection to view the available layouts, scrolling down if needed.

Simply click on a layout to apply it to your page. Blank pages will display the layout exactly as designed.

If the selected page already has photos and text placed onto, this content will transfer to the applied layout.

Customizing & Flipping Layouts

Layouts may be completely customized. Swap out backgrounds (new image, image fx to recolor, etc.), change text styling, add/remove/resize frames, dragging frames across the gutter, etc.

Layouts may be flipped horizontally and vertically. Access the layout flipping option on the top menu.

Use layout flipping to create variations and mirror effects on both sides of a spread.
