# Layouts

There are a number of layout options available in Kumu, from [fixed layouts](https://docs.kumu.io/guides/layouts/fixed) where you position things yourself, to [force-directed (floating) layouts](https://docs.kumu.io/guides/layouts/force-directed) where positions are based on relationships, to scatter plots where positions are driven by underlying field values.

This guide will cover the basics you need for whichever layout you choose.
