If you'd like to be able to share public layouts please vote:
Make layouts sharable | Logos
The suggestion is 4 years old with only 18 votes. I would like to add some visibility to this in hopes we can get some votes. 

As a side note: I'd love to see some screenshots of some of your often used layouts for some inspiration! Do you have a favorite go-to layout? Any specialized layouts you'd like to show off? I'm sure some other people would like to see them as well. 

I was poking around with a competitor's software and I have to admit, I really like the default workspace they offer, has anyone tried to replicate it? From what I see it'd be pretty easy to do within Logos (for the most part), and I'm going to attempt to make a similar layout for when I'm away on business and only have my laptop screen to work with. When I'm back home, I'll share my results. 

That said, how awesome would it be if we could share our layouts as documents to glean from each other's work?

    The lack of progress is because Layouts are not truly sharable unless you have the same resources and features AND an explanation.for the 50 Search tabs (for example).

    See my comment about an explanation, and screen shots may not show features like link sets and targets from using "Send....here".

    This is my favourite layout:

    I wish that we did have the ability to share our layouts and learn from each other as well. Here are my favorite layouts that I use a lot:

    Much of the best Logos content I have was created and shared by other users. I've shared some myself, with the Institutes 1-year Reading Plan being the most popular (but that's not a layout). 

    I'd love to see some of the creative layout work others have done. I just voted.

    To anyone who's interested here's my "accordish" layout. I do have to minimize the contents bar each time I load it, but it seems to work pretty well. Time will tell if I use it more or adapt it past this point

    I
     have got some great inspiration from a couple of your layouts. Thanks guys!

    I agree with Dave that meaningfully sharing a layout is hard. It would be cool if we could share templates instead - top Bible here, top lexicon here, etc., that would populate with the user's library. But when I think about how much work that would be it is pretty low priority.

    Having a central place to upload screenshots would be really useful. When someone posts a screenshot of their layout, I often study it to understand their workflows. I discover nuggets all the time.  This should be put into a place where all community contributed content is in one place.

    Here is my favourite layout.

    Thanks for bringing that up and sharing examples. I borrowed a few ideas and updated my study layout for Mark as seen here:

    In Accordance you can share the Layouts (Workspaces), The missing items will have a replacement with the option to purchase. They had some issues in the past until all was bugfree coded, but now it works great.

    What a great idea. Sharing layouts could only increase sales if they follow the accordance example above as well.
