=============================================================
Feature: #109130 - Context-aware editing in the layout module
=============================================================

See :issue:`109130`

Description
===========

The :guilabel:`Content > Layout` module now features a **context panel**
for editing page properties and content elements. Clicking on an edit
button opens a slide-in panel next to the page layout. The editing form
is displayed inside the panel with the page layout remaining visible in
the background.

The panel supports all FormEngine fields in an improved UI. The panel
header displays the record title as well as **Save** and **Close**
buttons. An **Expand** button allows switching to the full record
editing form in the content area at any time. After saving, the panel
stays open for further edits.

User settings
=============

The context panel is **enabled by default**. It can be disabled per user
in :guilabel:`User Settings` via the
:guilabel:`Use quick editing for records in the page module` option. When
disabled, edit buttons navigate to the full record editing form
as before. The setting takes effect immediately.

Impact
======

Editors can now edit records in the :guilabel:`Content > Layout` module
without leaving the page layout context. The full editing form remains
accessible for more complex editing tasks.
