How do I override individuel Nodes with Canvas?
23 February 2026 at 07:29
Could somebody help me and take a look at this question please?
I want to use a Canvas Content Template as default for a Content Type (e.g. "Projects"), BUT be able to override individual nodes.
Example:
- Template has Title + Subtitle + Image
- For one specific Project node, remove subtitle (or completely different layout)
What I've tried:
- Content Type → Manage Display → "Allow each content item to have its layout customized" is not a visible option
- Canvas enabled for View Mode
- Edit Node → looking for "Layout" tab / Canvas override checkbox → nothing visible
Questions:
- Where exactly does the "Override default template for this node only" checkbox from Issue #3567225 appear?
- Do I need to create Content Template first (/canvas/content-templates)?
- Missing permission or feature not in Canvas 1.0?
- Is there a Workaround like Custom Block per node or other solution?
