Yes, that is the design intent. Keep components in one sheet with one row each, then mark per-kit inclusion tags as true or false. A 35mm prime can appear in /kit/travel-photography/, /kit/street-photography/, and /kit/event-photography/ without duplicating its description, weight, or price anywhere.

Compute totals in the template by summing the relevant columns across the filtered components set rather than storing static approx_weight or approx_total. When a component's weight or price changes in the components sheet, every kit that includes it recalculates on the next cache flush.

Append a row to the kits sheet with slug, use_case, scenario, rationale, and component_count. Flip inclusion tags to true on the relevant component rows. After cacheDuration elapses or you clear the items table, /kit/{slug}/ resolves and joins the sitemap on the next rewrite flush.

Yes. Carry a per-kit notes column on the components sheet, like "travel-photography_note". List mapping reads the column matching the current kit's slug and renders that note alongside the component. The same component can carry one rationale for travel kits and a different one for studio kits.

Yes. SleekRank exposes every generated URL through its sitemap and noindexes the base template page automatically. Submit the sitemap in Search Console once; new kit rows start getting crawled after the next rewrite flush. The base kit template page stays out of the index.

When a component is replaced, flip its inclusion tag to false on affected kits and tag the replacement true. Flush the cache and the swap takes effect across every affected kit simultaneously. Keep the retired component's row with a discontinued flag if you want historical context without rendering it.

Yes. Carry a per-kit rank column on the components sheet, like "travel-photography_rank:1". The list mapping reads the filtered set in that order so essential components surface first. Reordering on one kit is one column of cell edits without affecting other kits.

Yes. Carry an affiliate_url column on the components sheet and inject it via tag mapping into each component card's CTA. The same affiliate link renders consistently across every kit that includes the component, and updating the URL is one cell on cache flush.
