would it be possible to change the way site structure and articles work together? currently clients can get confused between the layers of Contao, ie site stucture, articles and then content elements.

I would like to be able to implement a site where when clicking on the edit article in the site structure area you are taken straight to the article section to manage content elements instead of the current way of still having to click on an article to edit. This will then enable me to hide the articles section from my site editors group i set up for clients.

As most sites i set up for clients don't have multiple articles per site structure that a user would edit it wouldn't cause a problem. Clients mainly just edit text and image content in an article or manage a catalogue, news section or events section etc.

This would make it a lot easier for people to understand and easier to create and edit pages.

If having articles that need to be set to disply in the left or right columns was a problem could this then be done on a content element level rather than on the article level?
