A layout has two parts: project layout and portal layout. The project layout is stored in your local ArcGIS Pro's database and can be seen in Catalog view > Project. The project layout defines, at a minimum, the print size along with a Main Map Frame. It can contain other details as well, such as text and function fields, a logo, and a scale bar. At least one project layout must be defined before a portal layout can be created.
The layout type is determined by a specific keyword. In general, only layouts of Default type can be printed as a single page. Cover, Overview, and Legend layouts can only be printed if they are a part of a MapBook/layout package.
The table below describes the requirements for each layout template.
