Conversation
Webflow cannot cover third-party integrations, custom logic, or gated content, so those projects need Payload even when the content needs are small.

🟢 Approval recommended
The change is a clear, consistent documentation clarification that matches the stated intent and does not introduce any conflicting guidance in the CMS section.

The CMS table picks a CMS purely on how much content flexibility the client needs. That misses the cases where Webflow simply can't do the job — third-party integrations, custom logic, or content behind a login — and those should land on Payload no matter how static the content is.
This adds one line after the table saying so. Payload stays the recommendation for medium customization needs; nothing else in the table changes.
