Choose layouts and themes for displaying your content

Layouts

Now that you have brought your content into your app, you can decide how you want each article, menu, and video displayed using one of our layout themes. Layouts are also used to organize Subsections. 

 

MAZ has a number of layout options to choose from, and you can preview them using the MAZ Mirror app to see how they look. You can read detailed articles about mobile layouts here and OTT layouts here

 

Click the "Design" button on any content feed or Subsection to select and view your layout.
