From Joomla templates section, you may notice that there are several other Voyager templates on the list with different names. They are actually the same, except for the name and layout configuration. For example, the template with the name Voyager - Single Module Right will have its default layout set to Single Module Right.
This is to provide convenience to site admins if they want to have different layouts for different menu items. All they have to do is assign the respective template to the desired menu in the Menu Assignment section.
