# Activating Varbase Layout Builder for Content Types
The logical use for Varbase Layout Builder configs is with the **"Full Content"** display mode for most planed content types. If the Content type has an access permission for users to open a page with a URL to see the full content. It's better to activate the Layout Builder for the default layout for that full content.

* Press the *`"Save and manage fields"`* submit button to create the content type
* Then the website will be directed to the ***"Manage fields"*** page
* Add more fields as needed for the project
