Dear Prismic Devs

The slice variation-feature is great, and it would be even greater if the current variation was directly visible in the content editor.

As it currently is (as far as I can tell), we have to click the "switch variations"-button to get view the state (see images below).

The suggested feature request would therefore be: to add the selected/current variation-name next to the "switch variations"-button so that the content creator doesn't have to memorize a certain field structure or rely on screenshots to distinguish between different component variations when scrolling through a doc.

Thanks!
