Sitecore - Community.Foundation.PlaceholderRules

Summary

This extensions allows you to manage allowed placeholder settings with rules (similar to insert option rules) instead of configuring placeholder setting items directly. This is helpful when using component driven design or using third party placeholders which can be overwritten with future upgrades (SXA).

Usage

Manage rules under /sitecore/system/Settings/Rules/Placeholder Renderings/Rules
