The document discusses the Panels module for Drupal, which allows for creating multi-column page layouts through a drag-and-drop interface. Key features of Panels include drag-and-drop layout configuration, integration with Views and CCK, and the ability to export panel configurations. Panels can be used to create system page overrides, custom pages, panel nodes as content, and mini panels as blocks. The document provides instructions on getting started with Panels and an overview of panels configuration options and add-ons.
