Introducing slot restrictions

Nothing hurts more than handing off a carefully designed component system only to have a layout break because the wrong component was placed in a slot. Designers end up doing cleanup work to make everything fit back together, while Marketers have to wait for fixes before they can keep building.

Until now, there wasn’t a way to define which components were intended for a particular slot. That ambiguity could lead to mistakes, broken layouts, and unnecessary back-and-forth.

Starting today, anyone with the Designer or Site manager role (or equivalent custom role) can control which components are allowed in a given component slot.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Designers set the guardrails, Marketers build with confidence. Designers can define exactly which components belong in each slot, so Marketers don’t have to guess what works where.
• Mistakes get caught immediately. If a Marketer tries to add a component that isn’t allowed, they’ll see a clear message showing which components are permitted in that slot.
• Add guardrails only where they’re needed. Slots continue to allow all components by default, so Designers can introduce restrictions selectively without changing how the rest of their component system works.
