Edit the row to reflect the new name and any merged products. The slug stays for SEO continuity unless you change it deliberately; the page title, h1, and meta update on the next cache cycle. For merged products like RenWeb folding into FACTS, drop one row and add a redirect; the pair pages that referenced the dropped slug stop generating automatically.

Add a noindex or region column and map it through meta mapping into a robots meta tag. Per-row indexing control means platforms unavailable in your audience's region can stay in the catalog for completeness but stay out of search results. A simpler option is to drop the row entirely, which stops the URL from generating.

Yes. Run two page groups with different base templates, scoped by a sector field on the source sheet (public, private, charter). One template emphasizes district-wide deployment, the other emphasizes tuition and fundraising modules. Both can read from the same master sheet with appropriate filters, so updates stay centralized.

Maintain modules as a JSON array column on each platform row, then render via list mapping into a uniform checklist block. Adding a new module category like "AI tutoring" is one column edit; the checklist updates on every page on the next cache cycle. Pair pages render both platforms' module checklists side by side from the same data.

Use a starting_price column that accepts text values like "Quote based" or "$8/student/yr". The tag mapping renders whatever the cell contains, so quote-only vendors get a "Quote based" pill while transparent vendors get the actual price. A second column can hold the typical contract size or starting band for buyers wanting an estimate.

Yes. The pairs sheet has its own verdict column, written per pair, distinct from the per-platform verdicts. Selector mapping injects the pair-specific verdict alongside the joined platform data. This is how head-to-head pages stay substantive enough to rank rather than reading as templated thin content.

Yes. Add a partner_url column to the platforms sheet and map it through selector mapping into the CTA button. When a vendor's partner program changes URL format, edit one cell and every page that references that vendor updates the link automatically on the next cache cycle, with no per-page editing across the comparison set.

School software pricing is typically quoted per student per year. Set a quarterly calendar reminder to refresh the starting_price column from current vendor pricing pages and direct quotes. Because every page reads from the same column, a single edit propagates the update everywhere. Stale pricing is the failure mode that hurts trust the most, so the column gets the most attention.
