Explain Master Pages and Page Layouts used in SharePoint sites?



Posted By: Avi Date: 2 January 2010 03:03:22 AM
 Answer:

MOSS 2007 provides a set of templates for authering and displaying information. Page Layouts and Master Pages are two fundamental templates used for this purpose.

Master pages and page layouts dictate the overall look and feel of your SharePoint site. Master pages contain controls that are shared across multiple page layouts, such as navigation, search, or language-preference for multilingual sites. While Page layouts contain field controls and Web Parts which are unique to particular web page.

The top-level SharePoint site for a site collection hosted on MOSS 2007 has a special document library called the "Master Page and Page Layout Gallery". All page layouts and master pages are stored in this document library.

Page layouts can be used by all page instances that are based on that page layout. Master pages can be used by all page instances in a site. Page instances based on the same page layout in different sites can use different master pages.
