SaveAsFile Method (Layout)
Exports a layout to a new layout (.pagx) file. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

   string fullPathToPagXFile,
   bool overwrite
)

Exceptions

Remarks
A copy of the layout's definition is saved to file. A layout file can be imported into another project using the ItemFactory Class. A suffix of .pagx is added if the filename does not have one or has a different suffix. To overwrite an existing file of the same name, set overwrite = true.

//Perform on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  layout.SaveAsFile(filePath, true);
});
