Layout Switching Logic
When you switch from one layout to another, XperienCentral maps the fields from the original layout to the one being switched to in the most logical way possible. Because layouts can vary widely, switching from one layout to another can correspondingly have widely varied effects. Depending on the circumstances under which you switch to another layout and what you've already done in the layout you're switching from, there are a number of things to consider. For example, if you have already filled content into one or more fields and/or if there exist prefilled fields at the time you switch to another layout, you could lose content.
...
| Tip |
|---|
For best results, determine first whether switching to another layout leads to undesired effects. If it does, you can always switch back to the original layout and preserve the data in all the filled in/prefilled fields provided you do not save your work. Once a content item has been saved after a layout switch, all data present in the original layout is lost. |

The following table explains how XperienCentral handles a layout switch and how fields and loops from one layout are mapped to another (or not).
| Field | Available field | Mapped |
| prefilled field | empty field | No |
| empty field | prefilled field | No |
| prefilled field | prefilled field | Yes |
| rich text | rich text single line | No |
| rich text | single line (flat) | No |
| rich text single line | rich text | Yes |
| rich text single line | single line (flat) | No |
| single line (flat) | rich text | Yes |
| single line (flat) | rich text single line | Yes |
| Field with name A | Field with name A | Determined by the mapping rules described above. |
| Field with name A | Field with name B | Determined by the mapping rules described above. |
| Prefilled field with name A | Prefilled field with name A | Determined by the mapping rules described above. |
| Prefilled field with name A | Prefilled field with name B | Determined by the mapping rules described above. |
| Loop | Available loop | Mapped |
| Single loop | Multiple loops | The single loop is mapped to the first of the multiple loops. |
| Multiple loops | Single loop | The first of the multiple loops will be mapped to the single loop. |
| Singe or Multiple loops | No loops | No |
