 Replying to [comment:41 karmatosed]:
 > @mor10 I did feel your flow was a little complex and skipped to the UI
 part

 The only part of my flow that has anything to do with UI is the
 suggestions of where these actions may be taken. The flow shows what at
 what points a person can enter the process, what they intend to do, and
 where they would go next.

 This flow accounts for various scenarios including:

 - Create a new mutli-content page and populate it with new component pages
 - Create a new multi-content page and populate it with existing pages by
 changing their status to component pages
 - Use an existing page as a multi-content page in either (or a mix of) the
 two previous scenarios
 - Add a new page as a component to a multi-content page
 - Add an existing page as a component to a multi-content page
 - Edit the contents of the main page or its components
 - Remove a component from a multi-content page
 - Reorder the existing components in a mutli-content page
 - Save your changes

 As an example, consider a user wanting to create a new mutli-content page
 and add several component pages to it. Using the flow outlined it would
 break down like this:

 1. User creates a new page or selects an existing page.
 2. The status of the page is set to "multi-content". This allows it to
 receive component pages.
 3. User creates new pages or opens existing pages and assigns them as a
 component pages to the multi-content page
 4. User checks the order (and potentially reorders) the components of the
 multi-content page
 5. User saves the main multi-content page and/or component page
