+# Introduction
+
+## Directory Structure
+Use [the src directory](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/src-directory) and follow the [React Guidelines - Directory Structure](/react-guidelines.md#directory-structure).
+
+## Layouts
+Dynamically import layouts and render them in the `App` component as this prevents the layout component to lose its state upon navigation.
+
+Set the desired layout name and properties on object properties of the page component:
+```tsx
+// pages/index.tsx
+
+setLayout(HomePage, "SomeLayout", { props: { foo: 'bar' } })
+```
+
+You can then retrieve the layout component and properties in the `App` component:
+```tsx
+// pages/app.tsx
+
+export default function App({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
+  const [Layout, layoutProps] = usePageLayout(Component)
+
+  return (
+    <Layout {...layoutProps} >
+      <Component {...pageProps} />
+    </Layout>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Data Fetching & State Management
+Please read [React Guidelines](/react-guidelines.md#state-management) first.
