Note
You can switch between Pop-up, Floating box, and Content-blocking layouts directly in the editor — when creating a new widget or customizing a template. Other layouts can’t be converted and must be created separately.
Widget types describe purpose. Layouts describe appearance. One widget type can be used with multiple layouts. For example, a sign-up form can appear as a popup, a floating box, or a built-in widget. See Widget types for details.
