Disabling automatic component application on specific pages

At a glance

Hi all! I’m using the sitebuilder and for some of the pages, I don’t want a component to automatically be applied to a page since I want to have a note in that page and not a layout. How can I do this? Here’s a quick video to show the conundrum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBxL1kDHizk

Thanks for any help you can give!

Why do you need to do that? And did you find a way?

This is for a partial website redesign, meaning only specific pages will undergo a full redesign. For pages that are not being completely overhauled, I don’t need to show a wireframes layout; simple text-based notes to indicate the minor modifications will suffice.

And no, I haven’t figured out a way to stop it from automatically assigning an AI layout to the text-based note. I’m guessing the workaround is to apply a layout to the section that is just centered text and then copy-paste the note from the sitemap’s page but dang that feels like duplicative effort.

is Figma part of workflow or process here or no?

Let's say that this notes thing worked like you wanted it to - are you sharing this Relume project link directly with your clients or are you bringing it somewhere else to do some fine tuning (Figma, Figjam, etc etc)?

Hey Matt! Yes, I want to be able to show them the high level sitemap and wireframes in relume first, then bring it into Figma for more fine tuning later. If only there were a toggle in Relume to hide that link to the wireframes when I go to share the link, that would be ideal. Because we’re really only at the sitemap stage anyway and I don’t want them getting bogged down by more details in the wireframes.

yeah totally understand. This is really great feedback, I'll bring this to the team. Unfortunately I think your only immediate workaround to how you want to work, would be to bring the sitemap into Figma, and deliver the sitemap how you would deliver your other deliverables - lots of different ways to do that (Markup.io, usepastel.com or link directly to a copy of Figma or Figjam too.)

Once you export the sitemap to Figma, you'll have full editing capabilities there.

Likewise when you are ready to generate pages, based on the sitemap it will generate those additional pages, you'll just have to make those changes in Figma (removing unnecessary pages).

We're working hard and diligently on making improvements to Site Builder - so really appreciate any and all feedback and your patience while we get features built and launched.
