# `layout`

Controls the layout of the API docs page, affecting how the panels are displayed.
The default value is `three-panel` which uses the default layout with the sidebar, middle panel, and right panel with code samples.

Set the value to `stacked` to move the entire right panel into the middle panel.
The `stacked` layout is identical to the layout activated by selecting the **Change View** button on the API documentation page.

The `layout` option is a string that sets the layout of the API documentation page.
