Regions Override

What is Regions Override

Regions Override, available from the upper right corner of your admin panel on all page types or under Edit » Additional Options » Page Layout panel, gives you the ability to strip out pre-configured page regions on a page-by-page basis. Removing certain regions can be beneficial especially if using Layout Builder or wishing to take advantage of all available space when presenting output from a View, all without having to implement any subtheming to achieve the same effect.

The Regions Override button that offers the ability to remove one or more default regions from the page in order to make better use of Layout Builder.
