might be missing something that’s already available

I created my own labelling see video, can turn off or on

when there is a large number of drop zones identifying each one is complicated, again I might have missed something already available

playing with adding shadow to my zones

I am experimenting with being able to turn borders on and off to identify the dropzone in both edit and preview.

In this case red and green.

I think it would be beneficial if the grey dropzones with the arrow had a name/title in the dropzone and maybe bordered in red to indicate that the dropzone hasn’t yet got any content. This could apply to all such zones?

Yes agree, I have asked could we target the inside of the dropzone in another thread

Only issue once you drop something in, it becomes not visible would also need a the border as you said that shows through in Elements but not in view perhaps
