### backendLayout.exclude {#pagebackendlayout}

-   **backendLayout.exclude**

    -   *Type:* list of identifiers / uids

    Exclude a list of backend layouts from being selectable when assigning a backend layout
    to a page record.

    Use the uid/identifier of the record in the default data provider.

### Example: Exclude two backend layouts from drop down selector {#pagebackendlayout-example}

![Two backend layout records shown in list module](../Images/ManualScreenshots/List/BackendLayoutID.png)

**EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig**

```typoscript
# Exclude two backend layouts from drop down selector
options.backendLayout.exclude = 1,2
```

![Drop down without backend layouts](../Images/ManualScreenshots/List/BackendLayoutsExcluded.png)

### defaultUploadFolder {#pagedefaultuploadfolder}

-   **defaultUploadFolder**

    -   *Type:* string

    Identical to the user TSconfig setting
    [options.defaultUploadFolder](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:useroptions-defaultuploadfolder@13.4),
    this allows the setting of a default upload folder per page.

    If specified and the given folder exists, this setting will override the
    value defined in user TSconfig.

    The syntax is "storage_uid:file_path".

### Example: Set default upload {#example-set-default-upload}

**EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig**

```typoscript
# Set default upload folder to "fileadmin/page_upload" on PID 1
[traverse(page, "uid") == 1]
options.defaultUploadFolder = 1:/page_upload/
[END]

```
