Options for adding a second Layout Container to an existing Editable Template

[RobertBailey1]

Hi All,

I have an existing Editable Template in an AEM project which contains ONE Layout Container , as shown below in [Figure 1].

Am I right in thinking that either [Figure 2] or [Figure 3] are both valid options for adding a second Layout Container?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I can't see the images but if you are using two layouts containers
you should add two containers like

/conf/my-template-folder/settings/wcm/templates/page-template/structure/jcr:content/root/container1

/conf/my-template-folder/settings/wcm/templates/page-template/structure/jcr:content/root/container2
