Site Pages, which page layout is used? and where are they?
Hi John,
looked a bit more i guess this blog is a good start point.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kaevans/2011/04/02/page-layouts-in-sharepoint/
If you go to this link https://tennant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sitemanager.aspx
you can browse to the masterpage gallery and see which pagelayouts there are to edit/copy and edit
you can also see how many contenttypes are connected to different pagelayouts.
Thanks again Paul
The information doesn't really helps me. SharePoint 2010 is way to different from SharePoint Online! The sitemanager just shows the list of page layouts. But none of those are associated with the page for which I need to modify the page layout. I did try to modify all of them, but none of them affects the page! Reverted all changes :)
In the Site Pages library, when I want to create a new page, a Wiki Page, it uses a specific template from the Wiki Page content type "/_layouts/15/CreateWebPage.aspx".
I have no idea what this file does, which page layout it actually uses and how to change it or find whatever page layout I need to change. The location also cannot be opened!
Thanks again, I do hope someone has the information :)

One of the ways to validated which page layout is used on SharePoint 2010, if to go to page requested, and edit the page. Once you are in edit mode, click on the page tab , on the top ribbon you should have the Page layout option available ( when the page template is used) scrolling on through the options you should be able to see the one that is selected based on the square surrounding one of the page layout. if the PageLayouts option is not showing you are probably using out of the box Wiki or WebPart page based on out of the box default PageLayouts for those page templates.
