Ability to Control Hero Banners for Unique Page Advertising

Robert McKlveen
The current hero banner slider is limiting because it works as one size fits all. Every banner populates everywhere, so there's no way to run a unique set of ads on the home page and a different set on a specific page or collection. That makes the widget hard to use for any real advertising strategy.
Two possible fixes:
Add banner selection to the widget in the page builder. When you drop the hero slider onto a page, you'd pick which banners appear in that instance. This seems like the simplest solve and keeps control at the page level where it belongs.
Add page tagging to the banners themselves, so each banner is assigned to the pages or collections it should appear on. This works, but it gets harder to manage as the banner library grows.
Option one is the better path. It's less to maintain and gives merchants direct control without having to track tags across every banner.
