If you use the Paragraphs module and wish there was a way to more easily control the layout of referenced paragraphs on a particular node, this might be just what you were looking for. Entity Reference with Layout (ERL), a new module for Drupal 8, combines structured content (a la Paragraphs) with expressive layout control (a la Layout Discovery in core). Now you can quickly add new sections without leaving the content edit screen, choose from available layouts, add text or media to specific regions, drag them around, edit them, delete them, add more, and so on. The experience is easy-to-use, fast, and expressive.

In this session, we’ll run through a live demo of how to install, configure and use ERL. We'll talk about ideal use cases, how ERL differs from Layout Builder in core, and the kinds of factors that might make it a good fit for your project. Finally, we’ll talk through road map of future releases and features we’d like to see added.
