When you have [created a new layout][6], it is time to customize it. Personalize the layout for the main cards and archives to match your organization's information needs.

## Considerations

Before customizing a layout, determine who the intended users are.

* What do they need at their fingertips?
* Do they need all default fields and tabs, or should you remove something?
* Do they require additional tabs?
* What is the logical order of fields?

<Note>
  You can edit the **default layout**, however, you cannot edit the default control settings and you cannot re-assign the layout to a user group.
</Note>

1. Open the Screen Designer.
2. At the top, select a screen or dialog to customize.
3. Select a layout in the list on the left side.
4. Click <i class="ph ph-pencil-simple" aria-label="Edit layout" /> below the preview.
5. In the **Edit card layout** screen, work your way through the tabs of the screen.

   * [Add, edit, move, or remove a field][1]
   * [Add link or button][2]
   * [Organize information into logical groups][4]
   * [Add, remove, or restore a tab][3]
   * [Change the number of columns in a tab][5]

After editing a layout, click one of the following buttons:

| Button         | Description                                                                                              |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Save draft     | Saves an unpublished version of the layout, which you can resume editing later or ask someone to review. |
| Save + Publish | Applies the layout to the selected user groups **or** sale/project/request/follow-up type .              |
| Cancel         | Discards all changes.                                                                                    |

If you need to revert to an earlier version of the screen, you can access the following options from the **Task** button (<i class="ph ph-dots-three-circle-vertical" aria-hidden="true" />):

* **Reset to factory settings**: This option discards all changes and resets the layout to the default version provided by SuperOffice.

* **Restore tabs**: This option reinstates any tabs that have been previously removed.

* **Discard draft**: This option discards all unsaved changes and reverts the layout to the most recently published version.

<h2 id="delete">
  Delete layout
</h2>

When a user-group-based layout is deleted, users in that group see the default (system) layout.

To delete a layout:

1. Select the layout in the **Layouts** list.
2. Click **Delete**.
