Tips¶

• If you have a Single Article Layout defined for an article, that layout will show any time that article is displayed in the frontend. For example, if an article is shown on another menu item type (for example, in a Category Blog or List Layout or a Featured Articles Layout), the user will be taken to the Single Article Layout for that article (if defined).
