Introduction

As well know about page layout in SharePoint. Now i am going to give steps to create custom page layout.

Design Manager

We will use design manager to create page layout.  Here is the steps

• Site Settings -> Design Manager
• Click Edit Page Layouts
• Click Create a page Layout

• Give name for page layout ,masterpage to inherit and content type of page

• Click Ok
• New page layout will be displayed in Master Page Gallery and Edit Page Layout page

The page layout is in draft state by default. It will not display in page layout dropdown if it is in draft mode. We have to change this as publish version. Then only page will be displayed.

For making changes to page, we have to change the .html file. Download the .html file and make the changes. upload again in master gallery.

Then, Go to Pages Library. Click Pages in New Document Menu

We can find our custom page in page layout section.
