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.

For best results, determine first switch to the other layout in order to determine whether switching to another layout leads to undesired effects. If it does, do not save the content item and immediately switch back to the original layout in order to preserve the data in all the filled in/prefilled fields. |
