Saving Layouts

- When starting a custom session, creators can load a Layout by using ‘Open Layout’ from the Command Menu to place the saved items.
- Within the Game Options, creators can ‘Reset to Last Loaded Layout’ to return to a previously saved state or ‘Remove Layout’ to quickly remove any placed items.
- Each Location can support 30 Layouts, and Layouts can be deleted from the Game Options menu.
