Is there a reason to prefer more specific imports&nbsp;`@dynatrace/strato-compontents-preview/layouts`&nbsp;instead of just&nbsp;`@dynatrace/strato-components-preview`? It seems either works, but examples tend to use more specific paths. Just wondering if there’s a reason…

Hi [@lucas\_hocker](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/32376)&nbsp;, technically speaking, there is no difference between the two imports. Because imports from `@dynatrace/strato-components-preview` are re-exports of all other packages like the **layout** and so on.

My personal preference is to use&nbsp;`@dynatrace/strato-components-preview`&nbsp;because then you don’t have to know the underlined folder names, potentially saving you from headaches if the internal path changes.
