Hi, I'm confronted with the following use case and I'm not sure which strategy to follow to create the best user experience.

I'm using the Static Pages plugin to allow editors to manage content on several pages. The editors don't have access to CMS level. They can add static pages and choose the Layout they want. My Layouts are organised as you can see in the image I've included below.

What I want to do is create an area which editors can fill with any content they like through the WYSIWYG editor. That area is marked yellow in the wireframe. They will have the possibility to add this area into any static page. My problem now is, the content of this area can be different on each static page. Some static pages not get this area at all. I can't figure out how I should approach the solution for this case. It seems Snippets don't give the editors the amount of freedom they should have. One way would be to manually add Content blocks for each static page but since the editors can also add static pages we will run into problems there too and it doesn't sound like an elegant solution.

Looking forward to any ideas about this!

Edit: apparently the forum doesn't allow images through markdown: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10115578/page_structure.png?raw=1

Well, I just figured out that I was making this much more complicated than it actually is. The placeholder feature does exactly what I need.
