[adoption block] Create new / move page as Editor?

At first I thought this was a limitation caused by not having the Pro subscription. But now I do and it's still not working...

For my clients, it's essential to be able to create new pages, not just edit existing ones. And I mean unique pages, not CMS ones. They need to be able to throw together a new landing page from components anywhere in the website.

This is one CLEAR advantage that WS has over WF: letting designers specify "templates" that restrict what components Editors can add into a specific Content Block. It's huge.

But it's undercut by the lack of ability for editors to crate new pages, or move existing pages around..
What's more confusing, editors can Duplicate a page, but can't edit any of its settings like the title and path? 🫨

What's more, editors can't delete pages, but can delete a Directory, with ALL THE PAGES INSIDE 😱

And when cloning pages, they get added with a path that makes them a sub-page of the original page, even if in the navigator they look like siblings (see image)

Please let me know what i'm missing or if these are some bugs..

Oversight!
The missing feature you are describing is page templates https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/4931

Designer specifies a template, adds content block where user can edit things, which also restricts what can be added. User then can create a page from that template with that predefined content block.
Created an issue to disable duplication and folder deletion when in content mode https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/5038
