    One of two custom layouts I set up for a form is no longer useful. I can’t find a way to delete it. I’ll appreciate guidance!

    Click on edit custom layout designer. The inspector comes up.
    Hoover over the tab of the layout you want delete and click on the X on the left side of the tab.

    Under the Layout menu there’s also a Delete Layout... command. It will let you delete the currently selected custom layout.

    Has something changed here? I have a new layout created by mistake, if I hover there is no ‘x’, and going to the menu, the ‘delete layout’ is greyed out. Not just on that one, but on all of them, along with duplicate layout.

    I’m up-to-date on 5.3.14.

    Thanks.

    I just saw something like this, try creating a new layout via the plus and see if this triggers the system to give you the ability to delete the layouts. I saw the issue, tried adding a new layout to see if I could use a keyboard shortcut to delete it and it seemed to fix the issue for me.

    Definitely a bug to be fixed but see if the work around helps you out in the short term.

    The missing (x) icon is a bug. I’ve fixed it for the next update. The button is still there. So if you just click in that empty spot to the left of the layout tab title, you’ll be asked to delete. Or use the Delete Layout menu command.

    In the situation I saw, Delete Layout menu command was disabled and there was no space for the button and clicking where the button should be didn’t do anything. Clicking on the area doesn’t do anything. When I clicked “Edit Layout” from the menu, it re-enabled everything similar to how adding a new layout triggered things to fix themselves.

    Reproduced it with the Sample Form and hopefully attaching an animated GIF of the issue.

    This is not a bug. It’s by design. Deleting layouts only functions when you’re in the Edit Layout mode. Just a double-check to make sure you really want to delete a layout rather than just having the delete option available at all times.
