When editing the theme, most elements are displayed on the left so you can see how they look as you update the settings. However, the Course Page List & Course Progress do not appear, they should be in between the Code Snippet and the Flip Cards as they are in alphabetical order (see screenshot).

This means that if I want to edit the style of the Course Page List or Course Progress, I have to make the amends, then come out of the theme, open up the full preview to see what they look like, then go back to the theme if further changes are required.

Please could these two be added to the visual in the theme for efficiency?

[Side note that being able to open the full preview in a new tab would be really useful.]

Thank you 🙂

Hi @JamesLD - if you look at the top of the screen when in the theme editor you’ll see this:

 ![theme course switcher](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/0/02b780aa7b45c3e26f49c9f12f0c0c09f41546b6.png)

You can use that to switch from the standard ‘theme preview’ sample content to a course that you’re going to actually use with that theme - for example:

Hope this helps!

Thank you Matt!
