The new Layout Builder: Unleash the Power!
summary
Layout Builder becomes the core way to design node and block displays, aimed to be stable in Drupal 8.7 (experimental in 8.6). It wires entity display to Views and blocks, supports per-entity overrides stored on the entity (translatable, works with content moderation), offers inline blocks for landing pages, and a layout library plus view-mode driven components. Demo builds on the Umami profile show views, custom blocks and responsive layouts working, with limits: section reordering is awkward and overrides disconnect from defaults.
