  You could create a collection for pages, then use the

  blocks

  field to build out blocks that correlate with blocks in your nextJS app. You could build your blocks in a way that allows configuration/variation of the block with more fields in your config - but you need to wire those options up on the frontend.

  
  
  

  Does that make sense?

  We've done this at my place of employment and it was an easy process!

  Do you think this would work for an existing project without a database? I'm currently using next.js and contentful and want to try out payload instead of contentful for this project. I tried finding some resources online but didn't see anything for this kind of migration
