if you scroll down to select layout, I don't see that? Am I missing something? thanks Breda

Accepted AnswerHi Ofi, Yes here is a screen shot of the option for Limit on the Article Add on: http://prntscr.com/O1wMZby23mys
Under it I see Colums. But on the help file it says there should be layout options: http://prntscr.com/xg5kQuYkJI-T
Am I using the wrong Add On for this? thanks Breda

Accepted AnswerHi Breda,
as you can see, it's documenation for Newskit template only. And default Articles addon that you have in SPPB doesn't have such a features yet. The "select layout" feature was made by addon override for that template.
And that's the whole secret.

Accepted AnswerAhh ok Paul thanks, Would it be difficult to use the Newskit template for the News page and leave the rest on another temaplate? It would be great to have that feature on the articles add on as they don't look great. Regards, Breda

Accepted AnswerIn theory it is possible, but in my opinion it is troublesome. Besides, for a browser it's a different template, so it has to load "new" CSS and JS files on "news" subpages. It depends on what skills, time and budget you have for that project. The reason I ask is that it is better to invest in migrating this addon and use it in the current template.
