+Customizing the layout 
+----------------------
+
+``edit_handler`` can be used on any Django models.Model classes just like it can be used on ``Page`` classes.
+
+To change the way your ``MyPageModel`` is displayed in the CreateView and the EditView, simply define an ``edit_handler`` or ``panels`` in your model.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class MyPageModel(models.Model):
+        first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+        last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+        address = models.TextField()
+        
+        panels = [
+            MultiFieldPanel([
+                FieldRowPanel([
+                    FieldPanel('first_name', classname='fn'),
+                    FieldPanel('last_name', classname='ln'),
+            ]),
+            FieldPanel('address', classname='custom1',))
+        ]
+
+Or alternatively:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class MyPageModel(models.Model):
+        first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+        last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+        address = models.TextField()
+        
+        custom_panels = [
+            MultiFieldPanel([
+                FieldRowPanel([
+                    FieldPanel('first_name', classname='fn'),
+                    FieldPanel('last_name', classname='ln'),
+            ]),
+            FieldPanel('address', classname='custom1',))
+        ]
+        edit_handler = ObjectList(custom_panels)
+        # or
+        edit_handler = TabbedInterface([ObjectList(custom_panels), ObjectList(...)])
