Routes and FileRoutes

Hello! I'm new to Solid and I had some questions about Routes. I followed what was written in solidStart, but I still have some questions about FileRoutes. For example, is it possible to create a custom Layer for some pages and still using FileRoutes ? For example, with a tree like that

routes
├── [...404].tsx
├── index.tsx
└── test.tsx

routes
├── [...404].tsx
├── index.tsx
└── test.tsx

For example, I would like for index.tsx and test.tsx to both have a <Header/> that would be defined in ~/components I know that this is possible with Routes, but I was wondering if it was with FileRoutes

Shared layouts are pretty easy to do with route groups and the ‘<Outlet />’ component. I talked about this more here https://discord.com/channels/722131463138705510/1057754962110730381/1057782711919579326

Thanks :) Helped me! But from what I understood, it doesn't totally respond to my problem. For example, if I have 6 files a.tsx, b.tsx, c.tsx, d.tsx, e.tsx, f.tsx and that I would like to have a specific header for a,b,c and another one for d, e, f would it be possible ? (And a,b,c,d,e,f are in the same folder)

put them in different groups. so like, make different folders for them

But if I create different folder for them, the URL to access them is also going to change, no ?

that's what a route group does for you. categorization without changing urls
