- Sitecore Placeholder Fallback
- When implementing Sitecore websites, we sometimes run into a situation where the Content Editor wants to personalize or A/B test components that are common to multiple pages in the site. A good example of this is the header and/or navigation components. The problem we run into is that the components need to behave the same on all pages and it would be very difficult, if not impossible for content editors to maintain these components on all pages on the site. I have seen a few ways of solving this problem, but most solutions had some drawbacks that limited the capabilities of the content editor.

- While working on a recent Sitecore MVC implementation, I started to think about how Sitecore handles errors in the MVC components on a page.

This works reasonably well, but I began to notice a few drawbacks.
