Plans are seldom perfect and during the development of a site, there is an inevitable stage where things are chopped and changed leading to a lot of wasted time and effort. The Panels module, however, eases these concerns making nudges, tweaks, and even large-scale modifications relatively pain free.
In this recipe, we will be looking at changing the entire layout of a Panel from a Two column stacked layout to a Two column bricks layout which provides us with more regions. As we are effectively adding three more regions, we will see how the module allows us to intelligently merge the content from one set of regions to another.
We will be using the frontpage_dashboard
layout created earlier in this chapter to serve as an example panel in this recipe.
