Layout Builder: An Introduction and Current Developments
summary
Layout Builder is introduced as Drupal core’s panels replacement, shown enabled for a content type and per-entity overrides, with inline blocks that are revisioned to nodes and a demo of creating custom layouts via YAML and Twig. The session walks through using Layout Builder Restrictions to limit available layouts and blocks and describes missing features and bugs: no section reordering, uneven visibility controls, third‑party component settings needed for Block Class, and a serious revision‑mismatch bug that blocks editing.
