In AdminCP > vBulletin CMS > Layout Manager there are two layouts:

Home (25,75,240px) 2 Column + Sidebar (25%, 75%, 240px)
News (1col+300px) 1 Column +240px sidebar

On our main page we have four tabs: What's New? - Articles - Forums - Blogs
Articles has three links: The Front Page - Documentation - News

When I click on Articles, the page is displayed using the Home layout.
When I click on Documentation, the page is displayed using the Home layout.
When I click on News, the page is displayed using the News layout.

I'd prefer that the Documentation page use the News layout, or better, have a layout of its own -- Documentation layout.

How do I accomplish this?

On the Section you wish to change, hover beside the section name a pencil will appear, click on it to edit the section.

Section information will appear:

Name
SEO URL Alias
Layout
Style
Display Order
Content From
Content Columns

Choose Layout and change the layout to Documentation.

If you want to create a new layout entirely- go admincp>cms>layouts>create new layout (bottom of page)- then add the widgets you wish to appear on that layout.

It really sounds as though your best bet would be to google "vb4 Manual" - it contains all of this info step by step for you.

Thank you. I used the 'edit' function and that did the trick. Really appreciate the help.

I do have the manual, but, and I beg your forgiveness, it is 'easier' to ask and then beg forgiveness -- at times.
