Documentation Creating Full-screen Page Template Backlight 3 unclear

Hi,

I checked

https://backlight.me/docs/creating-full-screen-template

but instructions for Theater Full-screen Page Template do not match what is on screen.

Breakpoint: no Always option
Top Pallet: don't see this option
etc, etc.

What is wrong?

The instructions are for the page template you will need to assign to the Theater album template, not the Theater album template itself.

Thanks you, Rod.

I did try the page template, so that's not the problem.

In the mean time, by sheer chance, I think I stumbled accross the real issue:
although I closely followed the upgrade-procedure from some time ago for updating Backlight to Backlight2 to Backlight 3 and no errors at that, my site still defaults to the OKAPI-templates in stead of the PANGOLIN.

This is of course unwanted, particularly since most users will stop intensive editing one their site works well.
Remaining question: how to reset the default, assuming the OKAPI files need to be kept because of the update(s).

Have you created a new Pangolin page template?
Have you created new Pangolin-based album templates and album set templates? (you first need a Pangolin page template to create new album and album set templates)
Have you assign your new templates to pages, albums, and album sets?

You can restore the default setting to any template by going to the Templates page and clicking on the name of a template. You'll see several buttons across the top of the resulting View Template page. One of them resets to default.

After you create a new Pangolin page template along with Pangolin album and album set templates, you no longer need the Okapi templates.
If you delete the Okapi templates before assigning new templates to pages, albums, and albums sets you'll be presented with a screen to replace those templates with an existing Pangolin template.
