How to change a webpage layout

This help sheet explains how to change the column layout on a Jotter webpage.

Once you have done this School Jotter will have tried to make sense of the new page layout and automatically move items or move nothing that is on the page. For example if you change the page layout from one full width column to two half width columns all of your content will sit in the left hand column and you will need to edit the page and move items into their new locations.

This is the webpage with a page layout of left column two thirds of the width and the right column one third of the width.

The page layout has been changed to a three row format, row 1 full width column, row 2 three columns and row 3 full width column.
