Description

There are discrepancies across the pages regarding their main layout. All of the pages use <Layout> from Paragon if the page requires an aside. However, not all of the margins are identical and if a change is made in one it will not apply to all of the layouts.

Proposal:

Create a generic <PageContainer> that uses <Layout> from Paragon and is used across all pages. This will make is easier to make changes across all pages and reduce the amount of replicated code.

Start by locating the course-authoring MFE pages that currently use Paragon's and compare their main-section margins. Define the shared scope from those entry points, then verify that all pages use it and their main layout rules remain consistent.
