• A new content type in which you can create nodes. 
  
• These new nodes are viewable in the /admin/content list 
• They are searchable like regular nodes. 
• The main difference is that  you may add custom text or images to each panel node (beyond the defined fields, which you may add to this content type).
• There are no options related to variants, access control, or selection rules (we'll cover this later).

• Use your existing content types and their defined fields
• Use the panels interface to place the fields on the page

• You may “panelize” an individual node when it needs to break away from the default display defined for that Content Type

• Use different displays for each view mode
  
• Teasers
• How it appears in search results
• Views results
• Any other custom display mode you might need

• a.k.a "Page Manager," often referred to as just "Panels"
• Different from the traditional idea of content (nodes).
• They do not show up in the Drupal admin/content listing
• Like Views, they have a path, arguments, and conditions
• Special pages (e.g., Node View) vs. Custom Pages

• Variants - Different versions of the same “page”

• Selection rules - Criteria for controlling:     
  
• Access Control (user access)
• Variant selection
• Pane display

• Fancy landing page with it's own custom layout, unique content, and unique URL:
  boydstoast.com/half-off-toast-sale

• Mini panels can be used as blocks by traditional Drupal pages or as panes by other panel pages.
• Useful for moving around groups of sidebar content to reuse across various content types.
• Essentially they are small panelized content areas for
  when you need to have complex block layouts, or
  layouts within your layouts...

• A complete replacement for your theme page templates (page.tpl.php) in the same way that Panels can be a complete replacement for your site's node templates (node.tpl.php). 
  
• The difference between Panels and Panels Everywhere is that PE is "aware" of page elements (like menus) that are not visible to Panels or node templates

• This module creates a fieldable entity that may be placed onto panel pages as a pane. These panes can be created either directly in the Panels UI or in a separate administrative UI and later added.
  
• Once added, they can be easily reused. 
• Each entity supports revisions, and any revision can be made current without having to make a new revision.
• FPPs can be translated
• You can create the various types of FPPs by using the FPP Bundles module.

• It's not what you think! 
• No relationship to Drupal content types aka Nodes. 
• Content Type plugins are an easy way to create custom markup for a pane. 
• Works just like a custom block defined by hook_block_info()
  

to Panel Panes AND Regions!

• Form stores the class names into Drupal.settings
• Element IDs "#panel-pane-1" => classes "float-left blue"
• JS added to the Panels editor to apply those classes

• Delete, modify or add to the example styles that come with the Classy Panel Styles module
• First define your styles in the interface, then create or modify the styles in the CSS or Sass.
