![CleanShot 2025-08-25 at 16.39.33](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/3/83bdb953f668533a2ce0333a0fc7787353921a79.png)

If I right click on any of the icons in the image above, I can select **Icon and Text** and then the text is displayed. Having set the option, if I save the project, close Elements and then re-open the project, Elements “forgets” the setting and Ihave to enable it again.

The reason I am choosing to enable **Icon and Text** is so that I can see the publishing destination site if I click the Publish button. Ideally, if there is more than one site defined in the publishing setup then the destination should be displayed automatically in order to avoid inadvertently publishing to the wrong site. 🙂

Ahhh, we don’t officially support that in Elements, that’s probably why it’s not working 😬

Hi @dan, is this going to be fixed so that it is remembered or was your reply meaning to say it won’t be? 🤔

It wasn’t on the list, but I can add it now for you 🙂

Six months on, I am just bumping this one - it would be **really** useful to highlight the publishing target. 🙂

Hi @dan, I am not sure whether **bumping** this again will move it to the bottom of the list, but I will risk it! 😉

I have four different publishing targets that I flip between and having this displayed would be very helpful towards preventing inadvertently publishing to the wrong target.

Thanks for reminding me, we have so many things we want to get done, sometimes it’s useful to get a bump on an old ticket.

No promises, but I’ll see what we can do about this sooner rather than later!

Is this on the Version 3 roadmap ❔

It’s not a bug exactly, as you’re not supposed to be able to show the text, however we’ll see what we can do…

@logrunner This is now also fixed in Elements 3.0.4 that just shipped moments ago 🎉

Brilliant, thanks for adding this improvement, it is working nicely - it should really help!

You guys are on a roll with the fixes / improvements in version 3 - well done! 😀
