Panels has always been my go-to module when it comes to building custom pages in Drupal maintenance support plans 7.
Now in Drupal maintenance support plans 8 things have changed.
A lot of what Panels did in Drupal maintenance support plans 7 has been moved over to Page Manager. Panels itself doesn’t offer a user interface and it is just a variant type in Drupal maintenance support plans 8. Also, Page Manager is now its own project, whereas, in Drupal maintenance support plans 7 it was part of the Ctools module.
Panels in Drupal maintenance support plans 8 integrates with Page Manager and offers a custom variant type which allows you to select different layouts and manage blocks in the layouts. On its own, Panels doesn’t really do anything, you need something like Page Manager to utilize it.
So with that being said, what can Page Manager do?
