Multiple versions of the same thing
There are situations in which you want people to be able to reuse a certain building block multiple, even dozens of times. For example, create blocks with the titles of the 5 latest posts for each of the 12 RSS feeds that are available for your site.
Use case:
Offering the option to have multiple variations (instances) of a given UI element (building block)
Do:
Use configuration to specify the different versions based off a single 'master' element. Make people use the same element multiple times. Example: List one RSS block in the blocks library and indicate that it is used in 12 versions.
Do not:
Create 'copies' for each version. Example: List 12 RSS blocks in the blocks library.
Application:
- Use modal window to setup, configure a new variant?
