I am trying to follow the reasoning behind the use of paint layouts in our implementation, and am looking through the manuals, but can't find a section on paint layouts.
Fundamentals Chapter 20 says to look in Administration for info on paint layout, but there is nothing really describing paint layouts in Administration.
I have looked in all the other 3.16 manuals, but can't find anything.
I will talk to our account manager tomorrow, but would still like to know where it is in the manuals for future reference.
Paint layouts are only described in the System Admin manual for version < 3.16. They are being broken out into a more detailed manual along with designs and simple edit, but this has not been completed yet.
The information for version < 3.16 is still current for paint layouts.
Also, if Squiz used Paint Layouts for your implementation, I would recommend getting in touch with the implementation specialist that configured your site to get the explanation directly from them. :)
Thank you!
