  • "example page layouts" -- what do you mean example page layouts? Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 16:46
  • 1) when for example a page layout or a master is unghosted, it is stored in the database not on the file system (in the feature that defined it). This means that when you for example want to rebrand the solution, the HTML isnt changed along with all the other pages that uses the ghosted master page / page layout, so you will have two layouts for the site and will have to dig out all unghosted pages and reghost them, while trying to remember if there was anything important functionality on that page that will now be lost since you reghost it... 2) i wrote "for example page layouts" Commented Nov 26, 2009 at 13:24
