# Interface: CaptureLayout

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:230](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L230)

New content for the areas of the capture screen. Each area takes a template. Each
time the document scanner builds the screen, it copies the template into the
area, in place of the built-in content. The area element stays, and the styles
of the document scanner still apply to it. An empty template leaves the area
empty. `false` removes the header or the footer, with its buttons.

The document scanner does not copy the listeners of the template. Thus the host
application listens for its own buttons on [ScannerSettings.container](ScannerSettings.md#container).
The published file `dist/defaults/capture-layout.xml` holds the built-in
template of each area, to copy and change.
