  <p>Both accomplish the same thing, although even if Neo is more popular I found Supertables better for my case since they can provide an extra level of nesting. That means that I can select option from a field and then in the following field have further options to select from and position them accordingly.

Answers.Text: Cool!  I didn't know those would be migrated. Once my client finds out about Supertables...more work for me, maybe. But can clients handle The Matrix? Blue Pill, Red Pill, etc...

Answers.Text: Depends what kind of access you want to give them. In the project i am working on the client has only access to the entries and they are not allowed to change the matrix fields (mostly cause if they change a field type data will get lost). Thats why i am trying to create as many options as possible for them to choose between when it comes to build the pages. Hope that helps.

Answers.Body: <p>I see what you're asking. Instead of using SuperTable, you could create a block type that has two rich text fields in it, Column 1 and Column 2. Alternately, you can create a separate channel for repeating content types (a CTA, for example) and make a block type that simply relates to that content (block type is 'entries'). </p>

Answers.Text: That would have been the solution if the user could select those options himself. Because i havent find a way to visually give them the option to select what they want to use. Remember, the product pages doesn't have the same design/structure between them.

Answers.Text: Another possibility would be giving the user a different entry type based on layout options.

Answers.Text: I think the best way i found so far is either using a plugin called Neo or Supertable. On Craft 4 both are going to be use natively rather as a plugin so it seems quite a safe option. Thanks for your time regardless.

Body: <p>I am working on a product page where I want to give the option to the user to select between which sections they want to use eg banner section, description section, video section etc.</p>
  
  <p>Now since the product pages might have some differences between them eg the description section on one product contains an extra image and an extra video I figured out that I can use a matrix field that contains a super table (plugin that allows matrix field within a matrix field) and another matrix field. By doing that I give the user the option to select the content they want to use within the sections.</p>

  Am I overcomplicating things here and is there a cleaner way of achieving the same logic?</p>

Comments.Text: It would be helpful to see a screenshot. Generally, I prefer to avoid using 3rd party plugins for adding this kind of functionality, since it's not sure they'll be available/supported in the future.

Comments.Text: I ve just added an image. Since the product pages do not have the exact same layout I was looking for a way 1. to be able to move content around and 2. to give the users the ability to build it themselves. Does that make sense?
