When I select ‘Only allow preferred instances’ in Slot, it still allows me to swap from ‘Preferred’ to another component. This is the case across every component I’ve tried it in.

Hey ​@Damian_Summersall 👋 Thanks for the recording, that's really helpful.

To help narrow this down, could you let me know whether you're on the desktop app or browser, and which OS? Also, when you tested this, was it only through what’s shown in the video, or did you also try dragging a different instance directly onto the slot? I wonder if the behavior is the same either way. Talk soon! — Jaycee

Sure, it’s the desktop app on macOS 26.5.1. Yes, I hadn’t tried dragging, but I've just tried it and dragging also works. The same applies for the browser version (Safari 26.5).
