# Site layout management
Site layouts are the high-level templates that define the overall structure of the site.
They include common elements like the header, footer, and sidebars, and act as a wrapper for content layouts.
## Enable Mosaic site layouts
To enable site layout functionality in Mosaic for Plone 6, you must ensure that the `ILayoutAware` behavior is enabled for your content types.
## Changing the current site layout
For content types that are "Layout Aware", you can change the site layout through the {guilabel}`Layout` tab or menu.
```{eval-rst}
.. figure:: ../_static/generated-screenshots/p6-mosaic-site-layout-selector.png
:alt: The site layout selection interface.
Selecting a site layout for a specific content item or section.
```
Site layouts can be applied at two levels:
1. **Page site layout**: Applies only to the current content item.
2. **Section site layout**: Applies to the current item and all its children (unless overridden).
## Creating site layouts
Site layouts are typically registered as resources in a theme or a policy package.
A typical site layout is an HTML file using the `blocks` syntax to define **panels**.
Example `site.html`:
```html
```
The `data-panel="content"` is where the content from the **content layout** will be injected.
## Registering site layouts
In your package's `manifest.cfg` (for layouts), you can register site layouts:
```ini
[sitelayout]
title = Full Width
description = A layout without sidebars
file = full-width.html
```
