The top-most entry in the Layout dropdown is Previous. This means it will use the same panel layout as specified on the previous page.

Show/Hide Folders

You can place code samples for each page in separate directories and then you can show only the relevant folders for a specific page. On the Layout settings when Show File Tree is enabled you can specify that folder and all non-specified folders are hidden from view in the file tree.

The benefit of hiding folders is that the student is not distracted by other folders and files that are not relevant to the page.
