    Changing page layout

    Current behavior:
    When a content page is created, one of the layouts can be selected (e.g. two-column). Afterwards, layout can only be changed by directly editing HTML. This for example means that homepage layout can only be changed by editing HTML since homepage is created automatically using a default page layout.

    Desired behavior:
    Ability to change page layout for any existing page by selecting another layout.

    Notes:
    1) Layouts are actually HTML tables with certain formatting.
    2) Key challenge is transforming existing content on the page into new layout. It is not feasible to come up with rules to automatically reflow any layout into any other layout. Thus, our current thinking is to leave existing content intact and insert new layout above it. The user can quickly copy-paste existing content into the new one.
