# Layouts
Layouts in **Infinity** are customizable page setups that allow **Admins** to define and control the recommended content for users. They ensure that important charts, reports, and dashboards appear at the top of the **Curated Page**, making navigation easier.
### **Why Use Layouts?**
* **Curated Experience:** Ensures users see the most relevant charts and reports.
* **Role-Based Control:** Assign layouts to roles, making it easy to manage what different users can access.
* **Streamlined Navigation:** Eliminates the need for users to manually search for key insights.

#### **Steps to Manage Chart Permissions**
1. Navigate to the **Charts** section.
