Hi, team! This may seem like a dumb question, but is there a way to make it obvious to editors which variation of a slice they're using—without clicking "switch variations"?

Some sort of obvious indicator might help someone understand whether they want to switch variations, or what variations might control within the editor UI. I'd love to save editors a click and make it obvious, if I can!

Hello @dan.duett

Thanks for reaching out to us.

For the moment, there is no other way to display slice variations without clicking between switch variations. Our team is working on the editor improvement; I'll pass this on to them.

Thanks for your feedback.

Priyanka

This is a very confusing UI for something so fundamental to Prismic's functionality. It's good to see this will be getting fixed. 😃
