In Plone, a portlet is a small, modular piece of content that can be displayed in a specific area of a web page. Portlets are typically used to display information that is relevant to the current context, such as the latest news, upcoming events, or a list of related documents.

17-
The context is either the current part of the content hierarchy, the current user's group memberships, or the current content type.

Thus, if a portlet was set on a folder, all contained items do display the portlet unless it is explicitly blocked.

In Plone, a portlet is a small, modular visual element that can be added to a specific area of a web page, such as the right or left columns, or the footer.
15+
Portlets can be used to display a variety of information, such as the latest news, upcoming events, or a list of related documents.
16+
They can also be prepared to store their own set of fields, allowing users to add custom content to the portlet.
17+
Portlets are typically used to provide relevant information to users in the context of the current page, hierarchy, user, or group.
18+
19+
Inheritance of Plone portlets allows for the automatic display of portlets in child items within the content hierarchy.
20+
This means that if a portlet is set on a parent folder, all child items within that folder will automatically display the portlet unless it is explicitly blocked.
21+
This can be useful for displaying consistent information throughout a section of the website, without having to individually set the portlet on each child item.
22+
The inheritance of portlets can be overridden at any level of the content hierarchy, allowing for fine-grained control over the display of portlets on the website.

They can be added, removed, or rearranged on a web page by users with the appropriate permissions, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in the layout and content of a Plone site.
