Layout, template, and page information

In the Aurora starter store, the subcategory page uses the default layout for category pages; no layout is assigned to the page. The default layout contains Commerce Composer widgets, but Management Center users cannot view the default layout in the Commerce Composer tool and change the widgets in the layout. However, several of the widgets in the default layout contain e-Marketing Spots that Management Center users can manage in the Marketing tool.

If the default layout is not appropriate, Management Center users can create a layout in the Commerce Composer tool and assign it to the applicable subcategory pages.
