Changing column sizes on one page affects all pages throughout the site

Permalink
Hi there,

I'm new to Concrete5 :( Struggling quite a lot here, any help will be greatly appreciated!

All I'm doing is modify the layout of a page here:

https://www.screencast.com/t/BkIuE3uB4xL7...

I've enlarged the middle column.

I'm doing this only one one specific page and it applies it to the entire site.
It's as if instead of modifying a page I was modifying a template, but I'm not in a template!

I tried creating a new page template and applied it to that specific page, to no avail.
Changing the column width still affects all other pages on the site.

Thank you,

If forced to guess, I'd be wondering whether the layout had been copied via c5's clipboard. Editing a copy of such an item should automatically break the link to the original item, so your edits should only apply to the instance you're editing. However, that might not have happened. If this is plausible, try making some more significant change to the layout to try to get c5 to sever the link. When this happens with blocks, c5 displays a warning; I'm not sure whether it does so with layouts.

An even less likely issue is if the layout had originated in a stack. I think you'd know if this were the case because you have to create stacks in the Dashboard.
