Layout Editor
Layout Editor is a form designer where the admin designs the form by using the objects selected in the Objects and Mapping tab. A page layout is a reusable, standalone entity associated with a specific set of target objects and shared across SFM transactions. Layout Editor designs the SFM Delivery screen UI.

• There is a difference in the behavior of fields when fields are deleted and re-added on the Page Layout between Classic and new HTML5 Designer behavior.
• When a field is removed from the layout, the additional attributes configured in the layout for the field are lost. If the same field is added back to the layout, it is a fresh addition. This is expected behavior for lookup fields and all other types of fields.
