Is there a way to prevent the component displaying in templates view?

I made sure none of them include a templates directory, or templates.json in the root of the pack, but they still appear here.

Not currently, however, those headings should only appear when you have the dev pack installed.

They always appear when the dev pack is installed/enabled as the only way to add templates to your dev pack is to drag components into the templates panel.

We would like to improve this in the future!
