=== Change the layout of a link ===

If you want your link not to have the standard layout, e. g. if you add a link to a collection and not to a group ([[structure_echopages|>> structure of ECHO]]), you can use the ''link_template''.

//Notice//: In general, if you add a link to a group **don't change its layout**. Do this only if there is a very good reason for that.


  - Go to http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/manage.
  - [[copy_cut_paste|Copy the template]] ''link_template_old'' to the folder where your link is located.
  - [[rename_objects|Rename the template]] to ''link_template''.
  - Now, you can edit the template.

**Attention**: All links parallel to your link and all links in the objects parallel to your link will use this template, too.
