Drupal 8 Paragraphs + Layout Discovery
If you use the Paragraphs module and wish there was a way to more easily control the layout of referenced paragraphs on a particular node, check out Entity Reference with Layout, a new module for Drupal 8. Entity Reference with Layout combines structured content (a la Paragraphs) with expressive layout control (a la Layout Discovery in core).
