To implement a new Page Designer layout component that excludes certain asset components, what should the developer do?

To implement a new Page Designer layout component that excludes certain asset components, adding component_type_exclusions in the layout JSON configuration is the correct approach. This allows you to specifically define which asset components should be excluded from the layout when it is rendered in the Page Designer.

By using the component_type_exclusions property within the layout JSON, you can effectively restrict the types of components that can be used within that particular layout. This provides a level of control over the content structure of a page, ensuring that only the desired asset components are available to the users working with the layout in the Page Designer.

This approach is beneficial when you want to create a focused and consistent user experience by limiting the available components, which prevents potential clutter or confusion among users who are designing pages. It promotes a clean architectural structure for the component usage within your layouts.
