Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is displayed using a drag and drop interface. Arrange your nodes, views, comments, user data etc. the way you want without having to work your way through dozens of template files. A predefined list of layouts (D7 only) is available for even more drag and drop fun!
By defining custom view modes (build modes in D6), you can define how one piece of content should be displayed in different places such as teaser lists, search results, the full node, views etc.

Drupal 7
For Drupal 7 all functionality has moved into this module. This includes support for nodes, users, comments, terms, search, Views displays. All in one package, less code, even more power!
Modules included/模块包括:
Differences between the 7.x-1.x and 7.x-2.x branch are documented athttp://drupal.org/node/1524800. New features will only go into the second branch, bugs will be fixed in both, if applicable. The most important difference however is this: do notupgrade from 1 to 2. It will break your layouts and configuration.
The Drupal 7 version requires the Chaos Tool Suite also known as CTools.
Drupal 6
This is an API module and won't do anything without the addition of one or more modules that implement it. A list is available at http://drupal.org/node/644662.
The 6.x-2.x branch is the recommended 6.x branch, includes support for CCK3 multigroups, database storage and performance improvements, some minor UX improvements, as well as many internal API changes. This is a recommended upgrade if you have a lot of displays, as it moves display storage out of the variables table. If you have only a couple of displays or a low-traffic site and do not need multigroup capabilities, you can remain on 1.x, however (other than security updates) there will be no further fixes or new features committed to that branch.
More information is available in the Display Suite group.
How to upgrade
Support for Tabs was accidentally dropped in 6.x-2.x, and won't reappear till the 6.x-3.x release. If you have a small number of displays, you may wish to remain on the 1.x branch.
The 6.x-3.x branch is unstable, may not work at any given time, will change its API and may not have an upgrade path. You have been warned!
