Two Column with Side Navigation Page Type

• Page Types have been created using Sitecore's Page Branches feature which lets us define pre-configured pages for Content Authors.
• These page types can be used as a template to create pages, and are available in the insert options list on the website.
• When a page is created using these templates then it will already have the Page Design set, predefined components added and their data source items created locally. 
• Two Column Page with Side Navigation creates a page where the main area is divided in Two Columns and components have been added in these columns.
• This page branch is based on Two Column Page template which inherits the Page template which has all the custom metadata fields.
• Containers have been used to divide the page into two columns.
  • The container on left has Content - Paint Bucket Setting applied and Component Layout - Laptops field value set to 8.
  • The container on right has Component Layout - Laptops field value set to 4.
• Pre-defined Component details:
  • Base Hero variant of EH Hero is applicable here; local data-source item name - Hero Banner.
  • EH Breadcrumb has been added.
  • Content Spot has been added in the left column; local data-source item names - Content Spot.
  • Side Navigation component has been added on the right after EH Promo inside a container, Side Navigation variant is applicable here. 
• Header Alert, Header and Footer are rendered using Generic Two Column page design.
• CAs have the ability to add new components and even remove/edit the pre-rendered ones on a specific page in EE.
