Layout feature request for Concrete 5.4

Permalink
Hello,

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I just wanted to request that the "layout" feature work like a block, rather than consuming existing blocks.

If I add a header that spans the width of the page, then I click to add a 2-column layout, I would like the layout to fall, like a block, below the header. Instead, if I create a 2-column layout, it includes my header as the first column, forcing the second column to fall below.

This is counter-intuitive to me, so I'd prefer if it instead left everything alone, and added a new layout below the existing content.

Thanks!

Oh, and if possible, it would be nice if it were possible to move a block that's in a layout out of the layout into the main area. It doesn't seem to work if there aren't any blocks in the main area (which happens automatically right now once you create a layout)

Thanks again

Could the same thing be accomplished by putting the header in the block and then adding another block in which you place the layout?

have you tried the Area Splitter Block? Works great.
