What is the correct approach for a developer to prevent certain asset components from being accepted in a new Page Designer layout component?

The correct approach for a developer to prevent certain asset components from being accepted in a new Page Designer layout component involves modifying the layout's JSON configuration by specifying exclusions for the types of components that should not be part of that layout. By using a configuration setting to define which component types are included or excluded, developers can create a more tailored and appropriate page design that meets the specific requirements of their project.

Specifically, adding a configuration for component type exclusions in the layout JSON effectively restricts the layout from accepting those specified asset components. This means that only the desired component types will be allowed in the layout, ensuring that the final page adheres to design constraints and functionality requirements.

The rationale behind this method is to maintain control over which components can be used, facilitating a cleaner and more manageable content structure within the Page Designer. This is crucial for maintaining consistency in the design and functionality of the page, as well as for meeting any specific business or technical constraints that may be in place.

The other options do not effectively address the need to exclude certain asset components within the layout, thereby making them less suitable for this specific task.
