Rubedo CMS : Designing content layouts

� From Rubedo v1.4, you can create custom content layouts.

� Thanks to these layouts, the detail view of you contents canbe modified in the front-end display.

– For each of your content types, you can create your own custom content layout by selecting the fields (title, summary, date, image…) you want to be displayed. To go any further, you can decide whethereach element will be displayed or not for each device (desktop, tabletor smartphone).
