Why can't OnDemand customers modify layouts

Question

I just started using Confluence OnDemand because I came from an environment that had a local install and it never got updated.  I convinced my new company how great Confluence is, but now I am running into so many issues where I cannot do in OnDemand what I could do in a local install.

- Editing Layouts

- Removing Child Pages link at the bottom of pages

I was under the impression that OnDemand was the same as the local hosting.

However this doc says that you can ask the tech support for some of the restricted features, so you may try....
