Content ZonesTable of Contents Show Content ZonesA zone is merely a named container for one or more pieces of content. A zone, or container, must be added to a layout in order to add any type of content whether it is an HTML Snippet, widget, or widget board. The zone is added during the layout design which can take place in a page's layout, an inner template layout, or within the widget board's layout. These are the only three places that zones are created and all take place on the admin side only. The purpose of this page is to generate a report showing which content zones are in use and which ones are not. The only action that can be taken from this report is to remove unused zones, as a way of cleanup and maintenance of the store. You cannot edit zone names or the content within them from this page. It is only an indicator report for use by a system administrator. Managing Content Zones
