# Creating Additional Layouts

*Additional layouts* allow users to define custom categories for unmatched pages, supporting higher-signal categorization of pages not matched by the machine.

For example, defining an additional layout such as "Copy of Customer Identification" or "Legal Document" will allow users that are categorizing pages in the Document Organization task to assign these types to pages the machine has not matched to a Structured layout. To learn more, see [Document Classification](/v43/docs/document-classification).

By default, no extraction will be performed on pages matched to Additional layouts, so fields do not need to be defined on these layouts.

To create an Additional layout:

1. Go to **Library** > **Layouts**.
2. Click **Add Layout**.
3. Click **Additional Layout**, and then click **Next**.
4. In the **Layout Name** text box, enter a name for your layout.
5. Under **Language**, click on the drop-down list, and click on the language that you expect people will use when entering information in this layout’s documents.
6. Click **Create**.

From there, the system will automatically commit a version of the layout – that version can then be added to a release and deployed. For more information on creating and deploying releases, see [Adding a New Release](/v43/docs/adding-a-new-release).

When you follow the steps above, you create a layout with a single variation. You cannot add variations to the layout, as variations can only be added to Structured layouts.
