FAQ

Why does the page change before I click "Save"?

The Wizard previews each choice live. Nothing is stored until you click "Save", and "Reset" discards the preview.

A reader tells me the column is missing. Did the setting not save?

The layout you set is the default. A reader can hide a visible column for themselves, and that choice lives in their browser only.

Which Panels go into the columns I just enabled?

Those you put there in the "Panel List" tab, described in Arrange the Panels in a Column.
