- In the top-left of the Edit Desktop window, click Edit Layout.
- Choose the layout you would like to use.
Note
If you have added modules and you change the layout to one with fewer columns, any module in the removed columns will also be removed and put into the Recently Removed category.
Add Modules to a Desktop
Once you have saved the new desktop, the Edit Desktop window opens on the Content tab where modules can be added to the layout.
- Under the Available Content section in the left pane click one of the categories. The category will expand, and show the available options.
- Click and drag any module to the location you'd like it to appear on the desktop.

Remove a Module from a Desktop
You can remove a module from a Desktop while creating or editing.
