Areas may show content they inherit from a parent page. An inheriting area may allow some of its content to be rearranged, changed or even deleted. It may also offer to add new components.

If an inheriting area can't be changed (it can't be overridden), it actually can't be edited and thus uses a reduced bar to mark its presence (see SCRUM-495).

Whether an inheriting area can be overridden or not is indicated by a small icon on the edit bar. Clicking on the icon changes its state from "inheriting content" to "override inherited content" and vice versa. The icon thus acts both as a status indicator as well as a button. Once an area gets editable, it shows buttons and edit bars according to how it has been configured to behave.

The attached mockup shows both a possible realization of this as well as two examples of overridden areas.
