We (City of Lima, OH) have a homepage home banner (Community) which is not displaying properly. Need a little assistance.
I need to know how to edit the contents in the layout. Not finding creating layouts or editing layouts and no option to Add a new layout. Do I have to delete the current widget and add back a new one?

Hi Diana,
It sounds like you might want to Add a Widget (https://www.civicengage.civicplus.help/hc/en-us/sections/115001038933-Widgets) or Edit a specific widget (https://www.civicengage.civicplus.help/hc/en-us/articles/360008708233-Edit-a-Widget) to change the content on your page. You can also create a new page version if the information will change according to the time of year (https://www.civicengage.civicplus.help/hc/en-us/articles/360004405393-Configure-Page-Version-Options).
If you would like additional help, please reach out to our Support Specialists as they would gladly assist you!

When I start the process of changing a layout on an existing page, I get a warning that if I proceed, I may lose data. How can I safely change the layout in a situation like that? Thanks!
