This feature is in public preview.
A layout is the high-level shape of the consumer interface. Marketplace provides four layouts. Each template suggests a default layout, which you can override.

​
Chat

A conversational thread with a single input box. Each turn shows the question, the answer with inline citations, and any rendered components. Suggested follow-ups appear after each answer. Best for:
  • Open-ended Q&A across documents.
  • Long-running conversations where context carries between turns.
Templates that recommend chat: Customer Support, HR Benefits, Onboarding and Training, Local Government Citizen Engagement. A query box with ranked results, source previews, and an “answer” panel that summarizes the top matches with citations. Best for:
  • Finding a specific clause, document, or passage.
  • Domains where the end user wants to scan multiple results before drilling in.
Templates that recommend search: Legal Document Search, Financial Filings Analyzer.

​
Structured

Form-style inputs that guide the end user to provide the information needed for a structured answer, such as a comparison table or a coverage matrix. Best for:
  • Repeatable, parameterized tasks such as deal sizing or coverage lookups.
  • Workflows where end users want a consistent output shape every time.
Templates that recommend structured: Deal Desk.

​
Hybrid

Chat plus a persistent structured panel. The chat handles open-ended questions, and the panel shows visual components such as comparison tables, timelines, or coverage matrices that update as the conversation progresses. Best for:
  • Workflows that mix exploration with reference output.
  • Sales, legal, or research tasks where the end user wants both an answer and a working surface.
Templates that recommend hybrid: Sales Enablement, Event Management.

Switching layouts

You can change a deployment’s layout from the dashboard. Switching layouts creates a new building version and may require you to enable or disable specific components. Publish the new version to apply the change.
