Hello,

I just started delving in the starter template and learning about the slice machine.

I can see that each slice has a model.json, where I can define variations, but is there any way to define those in visually? Also, how are these displayed in Prismic in the content room?

Any documentation that you can point me to?

Thanks,  
Kris

Hey @kris, thanks for reaching out!

Currently slice variations are not released, they will be somewhen at the beginning of next year hopefully. Preparation work has been made for those that's why you can notice some reference in the `model.json` file~

So that's why variations are not displayed yet in the content room when [you push a slice through the UI](https://www.slicemachine.dev/documentation/slice-builder#push-your-slice-to-prismic-) too.

I hope this is not a big disappointment for you, I'm also really looking forward to playing with them!

Let me know if anything else 🙂

@lihbr I wasn't aware that they are still not released. Thanks for letting me know
