[LAUNCHED] New SLOT Visibility Inside Components πŸ”ŽπŸ”ŽπŸ”Ž

Hi there,

One issue we noticed with the new Slot feature is discoverability inside components such as tiles or cards.

Currently, when a slot is configured in the properties panel but the final component is not hovered, the slot area is completely invisible. Because of this, users do not realize that there is an adjustable slot inside the component.

At the moment, the slot only becomes visible on hover, which makes the feature difficult to discover. I attached screenshots showing:

  • a non-hovered state where the slot is invisible

    Β 

  • a hovered state where the slot becomes visible

    Β 

My concern is that slots should remain somehow visible when empty.

Would it be possible to introduce a subtle always-visible indicator for slots, without requiring a full background color?Β

I have very same issue - with components that utilise only slots (popovers) unless u hover over them u cant tell at all that slot is there - there should be an option of transparency of some sortΒ

Hey ​@Serkan_ZararsizΒ  and ​@Kami_Figura,

Thank you for describing this feature request in such a detailed way (the screenshots add even more clarity)

I have some good news! We have just released new slot settings, which include the ability to make slots visible on the canvas when empty.
