Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/managemodule-layout-not-available.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Hi,
in : https://ansel.photos/en/doc/views/darkroom/organization/manage-module-layouts/#module-groups
it says that you can edit the module layout just as in Darktable.
For instance, i want to create my own favorites tab with my favorite modules
But i can not find out how to do this

Yes, it’s another thing I need to redo…
It’s the story of the guy who bought a charming old house in almost good condition, except the carpet is stained and needs to go. Remove the carpet, figure out the hardwood floor underneath is rotten. Remove the floor, figure out the beams underneath are rotten. Charming old house is now 4 walls and a roof that needs 1 year and twice its buying price in construction work.
